BWW Review: Upstream Theater's Extraordinarily Imaginative Production of THE YEAR OF THE BICYCLE

I always look forward to every show by Upstream Theater, because I know I will transported somewhere I've never been before. It may be another country, or it may be a state of mind. Whatever the case, I know it will be a magical place that will take me far beyond any expectations I may have. With playwright Joanna Evans' THE YEAR OF THE BICYCLE, we're taken to places that fall into both categories. Acted with passion and energy, and brimming with an extraordinary sense of visual style, this production explores relations in South Africa between whites and blacks, while also giving us a glimpse of the afterlife. It's only about an hour or so long, but it leaves a lasting impression. This is what Upstream Theater consistently does; provide must-see productions that challenge and invigorate.

He may not have money, he may not have power...but where there's a wit, there's a way. Figaro is a comic chameleon unmatched across history: clever, insubordinate, restless, lustful, agent of chaos, champion of love, jack of all trades, and man for all seasons.
