Cicada by Sarah McKereghan

 

Bay Area theater served up fighting words, evil deeds, a charming pinhead, and the pub as a microcosm for life.

(exerpted from Robert Avila's year end review of Bay Area theater)

 

Cicada, a new play by Sarah McKereghan and Ripe Theater, placed today's left politics at the heart of its cleverly weird and witty story line: two environmentally damaged environmental activists, living underground as a political protest since Inauguration Day 2001, struggled to maintain focus as the world above moved on without them. Politics hermetically sealed off from life will lose its way, and probably its mind, Cicada argued. When the characters rejoined the world of the living, stepping back into the stream of life, something new began, reborn and reawoken for the tasks at hand.
