Photo Flash: Upstream Theater presents the English Language Premiere of WILDFIRE
By: Stephi Wild Jan. 26, 2020
Six fates, three fables, one family.
Claudette, Claudia, Claudine, Carol, Callum, and Caroline have more in common than names that begin with C-they are haunted by a family history of childhood trauma, which unfolds across three generations-and then loops back ... to the future.
They do what they can to survive. Sometimes by baking cookies, sometimes by playing fantasy games, and sometimes by smashing a hammer into a TV.
Highly absurd, terribly funny and beautifully constructed, WILDFIRE is a mix of ferocious black comedy and a humanistic worldview which recognizes that seemingly unremarkable lives can experience extraordinary fates.
Directed by Philip Boehm
