Neverwhere

Atlas Performing Arts Center
1333 H Street NE Washington

A wounded girl appears on the London sidewalk in front of Richard Mayhew. Quickly he's plunged into an underworld where heroes and monsters are real and where death waits in the dark of Night's Bridge. Neil Gaiman's heralded cult-classic novel is brought to vivid life in this visceral stage adaptation.

"...The acting? It has to be cocky, and it generally is. Daniel Corey is solid as the winsome, bashful Richard, yet the tone is dominated by the semi-comic florid turns - Weatherford's charming Marquis; the "convoluted circumlocutions," as one of the thugs puts it, of Mr. Croup (Colin Smith) and Mr. Vandemar (Ryan Tumulty); and so on. The script is pure popcorn, but as the actors leap across elevated platforms ringing the room and push the action-oriented dialogue, you can't imagine Frederick and her gang running any harder with it."

"...You have a good heart, and sometimes it's enough to see you through life, but mostly it's not. A riveting urban fantasy from fiction-writer mastermind Neil Gaiman comes to life on the stage as Rorschach Theatre presents the area premier of Neverwhere, adapted for the stage by Robert Kauzlaric. Directed by Jenny McConnell Frederick, this visually stunning production delivers a tried and true justice to the phantasmagorical magnificence that is Gaiman's work. A brilliantly haunting tale with cracks of sparkling magic woven seamless into every element of the production, it's the most mystifying show you'll see all season."

"...Colin Smith and Ryan Tumulty play assassins modeled after Fagin and Alfred P. Doolittle, but with meat cleavers. The play is a splendid choice for older children, though be aware that the actors do use those cleavers, and there are (fake) entrails involved when they do. Gaiman fans will leave thrilled they’ve seen their favorite tome or BBC series fleshed out so thoroughly. But fans of books alone don’t sell out theaters: Brilliant, 3D productions do."

Rorschach Theatre’s production of Neverwhere illustrates what it is like to be a middle-aged woman—completely invisible. We should all be so lucky that crone-dom were as creative, atmospheric and fantastical as what Rorschach, under the ingenious direction of Jenny McConnell Frederick, has devised for this Grand Guignol romp through an alternative universe below London populated by people who fell through the cracks.
