AFTER THE QUAKE
Steppenwolf Theater, Long Wharf Theater, La Jolla Playhouse, Berkeley Repertory Theatre
“A quiet, perceptive adaptation of masterful Japanese short stories creates an evening of entrancing theater. Sim uses the barest essentials to play a giant frog – green gloves, socks and glasses – but his body language does all the work.”
– Paul Hodgins, The Orange County Register
"Sim... prove(s) remarkable in both quick-change artistry and comic timing".
– Ken Bullock, Berkeley Daily Planet
“The splashiest transformation belongs to Keong Sim as the engaging Narrator who seamlessly morphs into Superfrog.”
– Dorothy Chansky, NY TheatreWire
“Galati uses a narrator, played by the tall, polished Keong Sim to insinuate Murakami’s style into the production… the commanding, sinuous Sim.”
– Malcolm Johnson, The Hartford Courant
“Steppenwolf’s actors were strong, especially Keong Sim, who played both the main narrator and the giant frog…”
– Jay Rubin, American Theatre Magazine
“Keong Sim is both comic and commanding…”
– Kerry Reid, The Chicago Reader |
