Ariel

by Marina Carr

Wilde Irish Productions

April – May, 2005

US Premiere

REVIEWS

“The scenes between Hamm and Rica Anderson's magnetic Frances ... are electric with hate, feral eroticism and savage intensity.”

San Francisco Chronicle
“Abounding with superb acting, intense action, and more dark secrets and corruption than folks will ever find these days in Hollywood or corporate America ...”

The Daily Californian
“... Ariel is a U.S. premiere coup for Wilde Irish Productions, a welcome introduction to a formidable dramatic talent and her reimagined myth of dark and unsettling power.”

Contra Costa Times
