“Rex Daugherty...is hope for Solas Nua to replant its imaginative flag forcefully on this city’s theatre map.”
“Daugherty’s cleverly manipulated production keeps us alert and on our toes.”
“Daugherty is staging the show in two private homes in Dupont Circle and Mount Pleasant, erasing the barriers that typically separate the performers from the audience. The marriage of form and content is a happy one. Wild Sky combines the company’s yen for intimate material and unconventional spaces.”
“the most remarkable thing about Wild Sky isn’t it’s good writing, clever direction, enchanting music, or terrific acting. It’s the fact that the play is staged in an actual living room of a private house...a beautiful and evocative environment to showcase the piece....director Rex Daugherty constructs a genuinely alternative environment for a brief 60 minutes. He turns the audience into collaborators and the actors into spiritual storytellers.”
“a scorching drama filled with fiery passion and emotional sensitivity....Rex Daugherty, director, choreographer, musician and cast member, brings a profound immediacy to the characters in this absorbing production.”
