READ WHAT THE PRESS HAD TO SAY ABOUT SEPTIMUS & CLARISSA!
“Thrilling and richly theatrical… Septimus and Clarissa” finds hypnotic poetry in the ordinary, the solemn, the rapturous and just about everything in between.”
– The New York Times
“This is the best adaptation of Virginia Woolf that I’ve ever seen on stage or screen. Certain to be on my list of the best shows in this very young season.” - The Huffington Post
“A breathtaking fusion of Woolf’s text, Ellen McLaughlin’s adept adaptation, Gina Leishman’s evocative musical score, and Rachel Dickstein’s imaginative direction. - Backstage
“A modest dance-theater masterpiece....If you see one faithful page-to-stage adaptation of a high-modern classic this season, see this.” - New York Magazine
“Splendid and exquisite….superbly captures the impressionism of the novel through fusing Woolf’s indelible prose with music and movement….the play is poignant and immediate and arresting, as if a window had been flung open, revealing the innermost thoughts of passersby on the street.” – nytheatre.com
“This poignant production will undoubtedly linger in the audience’s collective memory as one of the most creatively-crafted literary adaptations ever placed on stage. With its nuanced ensemble performances, rich physical vocabulary, and stunning stage images, Ripe Time’s awe-inspiring Septimus & Clarissa is not to be missed.” - Stage and Cinema
