Captivating…
Hidden Gem of the Fringe.
In an era of reality television, it’s rare that a stage play addresses the topic in an interesting or subtle way. And while projections – live and pre-recorded – are seeing more use in the theater, it’s also rare that a play employs them effectively. Sezze Sun does both.
Sezze Sun resembles a well-produced Chekhov play… beautiful moments of raw humanity. (Four Stars)

Sezze Sun by Kate Mulley
Directed by Stanley Brode
Created collaboratively with Dan Barnhill, William Joseph Brookes*, Jessalyn Maguire*, Karin de la Penha*, Matthew Charles, and Danielle Slavick.*
Produced by Odyssey Productions
Very moving… a heartfelt and well done production.
Stanley Brode… provides a natural feel to the play.
