REVIEWS FOR SPAY

Review:Spay’ by Rivendell Theatre is a powerful story about opioid abuse and families, as well as a real-world proposed remedy.

“This play brings a compassionate, poignant perspective to the opioid crisis currently ravaging America.

Fiedler’s thought-provoking play, which addresses these daunting issues through the story of one family in a small Appalachian town, packs an emotional punch.”

Arts & Culture article: The Drama of Addiction

“This work is a reminder that theater can spur audiences to do something to help in a meaningful way once they leave their seats.

This is the kind of work that should be put on a pedestal, handed an overly generous budget, and set onto a path for greater things.”

-Amanda Finn, Chicago Reader

“Provocative… unflinching… Even at just ninety minutes, ‘Spay’ does not let go. It sinks its teeth in and hangs on for dear life.

Fiedler’s work is a haunting reminder that our communities need better access to real help in times of crisis before the cries for help are silenced.”

-Amanda Finn, New City Stage
