MEET ME AT DAWN is not macabre or depressing but it is sorrowfully somber in tone. Michelle Hand and Lizi Watt enmesh with contemplative, cathartic, and pensive portrayals. The subtleties in their doleful performances are as impressive as their outward acting. Larissa Lury’s solemn direction creates ruminative storytelling with long-lasting effect.
Upstream Theater is having an existential crisis. Meet Me At Dawn, the finale of the company’s 20th season is an intense rumination on reality and grief that plays games with the concept of reality.
