“EIGHT DAYS (BACKWARDS) is a
breezy, psychologically precise and pleasantly dizzying ninety-minute set of
interlocking New York sketches about power, relationships and the unknowable
agonies of fate.
Jeremy Dobrish, who usually writes for his own adobe theater
company, has created a series of light but sharply observed snapshots that, as
the title says, work backward over eight days in the lives of eighteen casually
and/or intimately related character.
…this is a summer show-jaunty and clever enough to hit a few truths
with impressive economy and a sense of possibility. The characters have a range
of class and age and, ultimately, we care enough about them to wish we could wan
their future selves about what we know
is ahead.”
