Septimus and Clarissa finds hypnotic poetry in the ordinary, the solemn, the rapturous and just about everything in between.
So writes the New York Times in its review of the play now on stage until Oct. 8 at the Baruch Performing Arts Center in New York City.
The review also praises the play’s “airtight ensemble,” particularly Tom Nelis and Miriam Silverman; its “shadowy lighting;” and the “series of insightful, often haunting stage pictures” created by its set design.
“Woolf’s miniaturist masterpiece is instantly distilled into a thrilling and richly theatrical image” is yet another glowing phrase from the review.
I’m sold. Like a sweet freak longing for chocolate, my mouth is watering to see that play. If only I didn’t live in Ohio.

Tom, your comment about the rave reviews is further encouragement for me to make the trip. Thanks for posting.
I just saw that New York Magazine calls it “a modest dance-theater masterpiece” and notes, “If you see one faithful page-to-stage adaptation of a high-modern classic this season, see this.”
The show has continued to garner rave reviews – from Backstage, nytheatre.com and The Huffington Post.
Ohio! Just drive on over–I live in Birmingham UK and I’d go!
You are right, Birmingham, I should just hop in the car and go!
