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.”

-Emily McClanathan, Chicago Tribune

“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

Sisters in Crisis: A Review of ‘Spay’ at Rivendell Theatre Ensemble

“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
