Narcissus & Echo

Simply put, Narcissus and Echo is brilliant. Hilarious, heart-breaking, and thought-provoking, the play manages to not miss a single step from start to finish. Yet despite how fun or funny it may be, it is also, in many ways, a tough play. Lanier's writing is clear-eyed, unflinching, and honest not just about the nature of the systems that oppress, but the roles that we all play in the propagation of said systems.

Overall, the entire ensemble has tremendous musical talent and comedic timing. Lanier has them morph, like drops of water, from one scene to the next.

So damn good. Narcissus & Echo is an Eco-musical that is breathtakingly well-directed/written by Elizabeth Lanier. It's like 'Hair' meets the environmental water crisis, set against the backdrop of post-coital Mount Olympus, replete with Ancient Greek shenanigans & mythological hi-jinks. The exceptionally well-cast actors nail it with 12-part harmonies, excellent timing & spot-on choreography. It left me yearning for more - to see a longer version, in a bigger theatre, with more set, costume & a bigger band. This is all a good thing: Lanier's production achieves great heights through creativity, tight rehearsal, strong cast and excellent writing. ‘Narcissus' is socially conscious and unashamedly funny - it has a lightness of touch and depth of feeling that elevates the theatrical form. 5-Stars & Highly Recommended!!!

Beautiful and poignant piece of work! A thought provoking dark comedy with extreme relevance toward our countries current affairs. Music and lyrics are top notch. A MUST SEE!
