REWIND
by Heldor Schäfer
"A determinedly arty and experimental play...
"A strong atmosphere is conveyed at the outset...
"The piece's moody dreaminess... and portentous dialogue suggests the influence of such dramatists as Strindberg."
- Adrian Chamberlain (Victoria Times Colonist)
"...There is a dreamlike unreality of shifting times, ages, and relationships -- the result of the Faustian bargain of the female character to grow young rather than age (all the way back to birth and possibly beyond).
"Were we dead before we were born? Should we avoid the future if we can? If we close our minds to the ugly and evil, does it disappear...?
"Some plays give easy answers... The difficult is intellectually satisfying. This play... doesn't answer any questions but generates many."
- Anne Ridsdale Mott (The Craig)
