Summerland Reviews
Washington Post- Recommended
"...The effects aren’t fancy, yet Campbell creates a persuasive mood. By the second act, the acting hits a level you might call restrained gothic amid the slightly pulpy feel of Marianne Meadows’s shadowy lighting and the subtle bumps and scrapes of Matthew Nielson’s sound design. Campbell never lets this descend into silly stuff. Instead, it shrewdly frames the lasting philosophical arguments prompted by Mumler’s peculiar true story."
DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended
"...Then there is the much more intriguing focus that Summerland veers off into in Act II. This is Summerland with heat and vitality about relationships between men and woman. Now that focus was something that had me lean forward not wanting to miss the dialogue, the visual physical presence, and the psychological nuances. This part has sizzle, and plenty to debate after the show over some drinks."
MD Theatre Guide- Recommended
"...This is an intelligent, resolute work that explores a little-known time, and these actors bring us fully into that world."
BroadwayWorld- Somewhat Recommended
"...Although the play's premise is intriguing and there are interesting moments, the script doesn't artfully move the story leaving the production unsatisfying and uneven despite an earnest attempt."
