Read what our TM Insiders had to say about Rooms, a rock romance!
Nastascia Diaz Monica does a frenetic and powerful performance of "damn the conventions" naivete. With well-timed comic relief the play connected with a broad audience. The score is surprising in its variety and helps to drive and complete the narrative. Good luck in New York!
A great pair of performances! Doug Kreeger Ian shines as a brooding musician. Noteworthy, is that hes empathetic and doesnt come off as an ass. His understated, emotional performance conveys a desperation of wanting something which inwardly he feels is undeserved and unattainable - love and acceptance. "Brilliant" when considering Ian is an alcoholic.
