Reviews


The imperceptible magic that pervades human existence and the power of myth to assuage sorrow are invoked by the playwright Stefanie Zadravec as she entwines the lives of strangers in “The Electric Baby,” a gently touching new drama at the Two River Theater Company in Red Bank.  A mix of expressionism and magical realism… The Electric Baby is capably directed here with a confident hand by May Adrales.

NY Times


Stefanie Zadravec’s new play deftly wove together stories of relationships and family in a way that defied laws of coincidence but made for an entrancing story. The play explored grief and empathy, including welcome doses of humor and folklore, with a unique, heartfelt voice. May Adrales directed a moving production with a strong cast.
