More great reviews flowing in for In the Wake

Several more reviews of Lisa Kron's In the Wake have arrived, and they're worth sharing.
The first is from Nathaniel Eaton at the SF Weekly. Here's a taste:
Kron writes all sides thoroughly and brilliantly; she has no political agenda except perhaps to show that interconnectedness is the key to understanding our experience. This play is a powerful statement that we must question everything and everyone — including ourselves.
Next up is from Richard Dodds in the Bay Area Reporter, who writes:
Kron, who first came to attention as a member of the Five Lesbian Brothers, is much like the lesbian brother Tony Kushner never had. Dizzyingly complex discussions of economic theories, social constructs, and historical paradigms whiz by in high-voltage conversations that don't allow eyes to glaze over because of the skillful use of language and the recognizably comfortable circumstances in which ideological friction gets messed up with the everyday clatter of folks just trying to figure out mundane coping techniques.
In the Wake continues through June 27 in the Roda Theatre. Click berkeleyrep.org for ticket info.
