“œPluto“ Shines at Know Theatre

PlutoImageProduced by Know Theatre of Cincinnati and presented through February 22, this abstract play, written by Steve Yockey, is the story of a single mother who tries to reconnect with her withdrawn son after a violent tragedy at a local community college, while mysterious forces threaten to invade their kitchen.

LCT panelists say “œthe magical realism in the play is brutal, astonishing, and moving.“ Another adds “œthe play is outstanding as a vision of the unbearable happening and how time refuses to move forward.“

Panelists applaud the skills of costume designer Noelle Wedig (her costumes are “œbizarrely provocative“) and set designer Andrew Hungerford: “œall the special effects, the lighting, the sound, the set, the supernatural elements – come together to enhance a dark but interesting script in the best way possible.“

Panelists also single out lead actor Wesley Carman, an NKU Junior, for his moving portrayal of the troubled son, Bailey.
