Summary:

Written, performed by Sharon Wood Wortman. A one-bridge-after-another multimedia event involving narrow escapes, invisible disabilities. The WRBs (Willamette River Bridges) take on human characteristics via footage filmed July 10, 2009, during a climb through the arch ribs and up to Fremont’s two-foot wide catwalk for a flagpole look at Portland.

Review by peanutduck

Engaging. Perfectly cast. Points of horrific beauty. Erickson’s direction cleverly plays the black comedy in Ibsen’s psychological drama about a beautiful, desperate woman’s destructive power. Notices: Anderson (Hedda) and Healy’s (a slippery Brack) flirtatious power play; Whitney’s (Mrs. Elvsted) complex simplicity; Hillis’s (Tesman) bumbling naivete; Angelo’s (Lovborg) barely constrained passion.
