REYKJAVIK

February 8 – March 3, 2019
By Steve Yockey
Directed by Rick Hammerly

“You are desire and beauty
and you will never fade away.”

James is in Reykjavík for the Northern Lights, but they’re not here. Instead he ventures into the 24-hour dark of the Icelandic winter and finds himself entangled with dangerous strangers, suspicious lovers, malevolent birds and the mysterious Huldufólk. Playwright Steve Yockey (very still & hard to see), a genre-bending master of suspense, takes us to the end of the Earth to experience a dark, sometimes supernatural world populated with characters who defy expectations at every turn.

Reykjavík is being produced as a NATIONAL NEW PLAY NETWORK ROLLING WORLD PREMIERE by Actor’s Express (Atlanta, GA), Kitchen Dog Theater (Dallas, TX), Southern Rep Theatre (New Orleans, LA), and Rorschach Theatre (Washington, D.C.). Reykjavík was developed at the NNPN/KCACTF MFA Playwrights’ Workshop.

“A stunningly original world of mystery, sensuality, passion, and menace… Rorschach Theatre’s production of Reykjavík transcends reality in order to reveal it."

“…a haunting and disorienting ride you won’t want to miss.”
BroadwayWorld
“Otherworldly glimmerings intrigue and startle in Steve Yockey’s compelling Reykjavík”
Washington Post
“Reykjavik is a gem of horror and light, multifaceted in tense and occasionally brilliant ways. It has earned both an inquisitive audience and the cost of a ticket. Despite never having been to Iceland, I’d absolutely pay to fly to Reykjavik again.”
