Reviews

LA Times:
“Critics’ Choice: The Los Angeles premiere of Lauren Gunderson’s latest play, directed by Robin Larsen, could be a testimonial to the power of intimate theater… a stunning exploration of cosmic interconnectedness.”

Los Angeles Post:
“Lauren Gunderson’s I and You, at the Fountain Theatre, surprised me so often, and so well, that it set a new world record… in a final coup de theatre which brings the play to one of the most startling, beautifully realized, completely unexpected yet perfectly logical endings I’ve seen: it’s moving, unearthly, and completely satisfying. Robin Larsen has directed at a crisp pace, but though the performances are propelled by nervous energy, we never feel rushed – when we need time to reflect, we get it. And those performances are extraordinary.”


Curtain Up

I and You is an unconventional coming-of-age love story and director Larsen negotiates the delicate dance between Finch and Hancock with a skilled hand. From Finch’s surreptitious appearance touch-ups to Hancock’s occasional bits of awkwardness over, yes, being in a girl’s bedroom, the production gets it right from the opening bell, all the way to its bittersweet conclusion.”

Examiner:
“Director Robin Larsen has elicited compelling performances from Finch and Hancock drawing the audience into their exploration of the inspiring subject matter, themselves individually and each other.”
