The Ice Fishing Play

by Max Sparber   ::   posted on Jan. 14, 2009 - 2:01am

The Star-Tribune reviews the Theatre in the Round's Production of Kevin Kling's Ice Fishing Play, one of the first plays I saw that really felt uniquely Minnesotan: Cleverly blending quirky wit, a rich sense of place and the evocative tug of memory and loss, Kling has created a piece that is entertaining and unexpectedly poignant. An additional review from MinnPost.
