Suddenly, Last Summer

“Equally effective is Sarah Zehner, who plays Catharine Holly with the fragility of someone who’s been traumatized by what happened to Sebastian and by the hospital whose techniques for treating mental illness are barbaric. Each actor has an incredible spotlight moment when they stand before the audience and with minimal movement, mostly gestures, convey the tremendous pain and emotion that have left their characters overwrought.”
-Gene Kahane, Alameda Post [full review]
“As Catherine, Zehner’s quiet determination sets the emotional center. Her trauma and her resilience ring true. Her slight Southern drawl matches Simmons’ tone, connecting the women across generations—as they share secrets.”
-Isa S. Chu, Theatrius [full review]
