A LESSON FROM ALOES
by Athol Fugard | directed by Darko Tresnjak
HARTFORD STAGE​ | MAY 17–JUNE 10

"Mr. Tresnjak’s staging of “Aloes” is noteworthy for its poetic unity: Every element of the production locks together into a seamless whole... The cast is up to the challenge of filling this disorienting space, especially Ms. Nichols, who first came to my notice six years ago when she starred in the title role of Bedlam’s small-scale off-off-Broadway revival of “Saint Joan,” proving herself then and thereafter to be an actor of extraordinary force and focus. The impression that she made in Bedlam’s radically reconceived revivals of the classics was no fluke: Ms. Nichols’s work in “Aloes” is so formidable that it might threaten to throw the show out of balance were it not for the fact that her co-stars are so accomplished."  – Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal

When dedicated teacher and family man Lou Mazzuchelli (Josh Radnor) sheds his own self-doubt and takes over the school's lackluster theater department, he galvanizes not only the faculty and students but the entire working-class town. Inspired by a true story.
