“Yen at Raven Theater in Chicago. Elly Green’s direction of an incredible cast of actors took Anna Jordan’s script and brought out every emotion fathomable. I was a wreck leaving the theater.” New York Times “Your Picks For the Year’s Best” REBECCA SILBAR, Chicago

“Yen at Raven Theatre: This gorgeous little drama . . . Director Elly Green’s production was among the best productions in this long-established theater’s history, filled with actors offering up risky and uncompromising performances, all encapsulating the work’s central themes of longing and sadness. Beautiful.” Chicago Tribune, Theater top 10 in Chicago 2019, Chris Jones 

“. . . admirable craft and difficult truths. You might think of this show, which really is worth seeing by the strong of stomach, as a kind of reconstructive take on Chicago-style intensity; the acting work here is all first-rate and fully capable of inducing shivers of recognition . . .” Chicago Tribune, Recommended, 3 1/2★ out of 4, Chris Jones

“The cast’s four talented actors not only pull off convincing British accents but also manage to make their sometimes repugnant characters lovable. Their ugliness is real and can’t be helped.” Chicago Reader Recommended, Dmitry Samarov

Praise for Fool for Love:

“Tiffany Bedwell as May is a powerhouse of emotion and brings a real complexity to this torn and frustrated character.” -The New Review Chicago

“May is ongoing, even when she leaves the main space, and it’s this sort of adjustment, as well as Bedwell’s powerful stage presence, that shifts this otherwise male-driven text into something more empathetic to women.” -SplashMags.com

“The now iconic roles of May and Eddie are brought to life by a prodigious Tiffany Bedwell and a devastatingly touching John Byrnes. . . In the wink of a eye, [Bedwell’s] May goes from heartbreaking to pathetic, and back. Time after time she is able to sustain both notes with absolute brio.” -Emilio Williams Playwright’s Notebook

 

 

 

Praise for Phèdre:

“Tiffany Bedwell’s deliciously histrionic performance puts the drama in this drama queen.” – * * * Chicago Tribune

– Chicago Critic

“Bedwell’s performance is an impressive reminder that just because an actress maintains an extreme emotional state for seventy-five minutes doesn’t mean she won’t find a varied and nuanced way of expressing it. . . Bedwell’s performance is the lynchpin. . . Highly Recommended.”
