See Rock City

2016

“Reckon life is full of surprises.”

Victory overseas results in unexpected consequences for May and Raleigh who are confronted with hidden truths, whilst dealing with the challenges of a new, post-war America. The sequel to Arlene Hutton’s Last Train to Nibroc, directed by Katharine Farmer, was captured live by Cinevative at the Rubicon Theatre Company in California.

Lily Nicksay and Erik Odom reprise their roles in this gentle comedy, which gained Nicksay an Ovation Award for Best Actress, as Raleigh and May return home to their parents in Kentucky.

Reviews

Philip Brandes, The Los Angeles Times

"Pitch-perfect staging by Katharine Farmer once again."
Charles Donelan, Santa Barbara Independent

"A World War II period piece set on the front porch of a Kentucky farmhouse may not sound like the next big thing in 21st-century theater, but there’s something extraordinary happening at the Rubicon with See Rock City that makes it utterly irresistible."
