EVELYN

The Bushwick Starr, Brooklyn NY
Written and Directed by Julia May Jonas
Composed by Jon Lundbom and Julia May Jonas
​Presented by Nellie Tinder Theater Co.
​
Picture
A new piece by Nellie Tinder, "Evelyn" is the story of a film star committed to a mysterious mental health facility in the midst of a druidical wood. Told through noir/suspense narrative styling, and scored by a small live orchestra that draws on the movie houses of old, Evelyn is a darkly classic story of the stranger who infiltrates a closed society and tears it apart.
​

"A dark, charmingly weird fable….Egotism and its gleeful, rabid undoing, insecurity, a little dysfunction, and a longing for friends—there is something everyone can relate to in Evelyn's misfit sisterhood...Gertie (in a good comic turn by Richard Saudek), an aged nurse in a black gown and veil, who turns up periodically like a refugee from The House of Bernarda Alba"
  -NY Theater Review

"[Jonas'] ambitious new piece, Evelyn transposes ancient madness to a modern clinic, suggesting that our unruly psyches still chafe at civilized life's compromises"
  -Village Voice

"an eerie, girls-gone-feral comedy…supremely balanced weirdness...a paper-doll adventure told by a disturbed and brilliant teenager"
  -TimeOut NY

"Mixing elements of drama and musical theater as well as intimate realism and mythic tragedy"
  -New York Times

"A really compelling, entertaining and insightful show that keeps you engaged and thinking throughout ... a fascinating study in manipulation."
  -Culturebot
