"Lauren Gunderson's Silent Sky is a well-written, beautifully moving and rewarding drama about our endless fascination with discovering the unknown. Arizona Theatre Company's production has an exceptional cast, perfect direction, and impressive creative aspects which add up to an engaging and fulfilling theatrical endeavor....a superb cast and an exceptional creative team...As Henrietta Leavitt, Veronika Duerr is nothing short of brilliant...not only is it a stirring study of a woman who had a significant impact on science, but it's also a beautiful work about the excitement and passion of discovery. As Leavitt says, "All I want to know is what's true," and from Gunderson's beautifully written play and this exquisite Arizona Theatre Company production, we realize how one woman's constant curiosity to find the truth has left a lifelong legacy and impacted many other scientific discovers years after her death." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"...a rich staging of Gunderson’s 2013 play “Silent Sky” which takes a touching look at late 19th century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt....Under (Casey) Stangl’s sure hand Henrietta’s life evolves with stalwart determination. The director’s concept is brilliantly aided by five superb performers who bring life to Henrietta, her two co-workers, her dotting sister, and the man she fails to win. Especially forceful and vigorous is Veronika Duerr who turns Henrietta into a memorable yet tragic figure. .. A marvelous set and stunning projections carry the play’s theme of space exploration with clever genius...an exemplary play that introduces a major but largely unknown astronomical figure with artful luminosity in Lauren Gunderson’s witty and intriguing play." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
