LCT Panelists label “Pluto” a 4-Star production! LCT panelists state “the magical realism in the play is brutal, astonishing, and moving.” This panelist singled out the direction by Jason Bruffy stating “the play is outstanding as a vision of the unbearable happening and how time refuses to move forward.”
Panelists also single out lead actor Wesley Carman, an NKU Junior, for his moving portrayal of the troubled son, Bailey.
Panelists applauded the skills of costume designer Noelle Wedig (her costumes are “bizarrely provocative”) and set designer Andrew Hungerford: “all 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.”
Produced 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22, this abstract play, written by Steve Yockey, is the story of a single mother who tries to reconnect with her withdrawn son after a violent tragedy at a local community college, while mysterious forces threaten to invade their kitchen.
