Wraith Radio CTX Review / by Trace Turner

Wraith Radio opened in Austin, TX on a stormy night on June 16th and closed on July 2nd, 2023 at Pink Flamingo Plant Co. Produced by Bottle Alley Theatre Co. Below is a vivid review by Michael Meigs for CTX Live Theatre.

Turner's 2023 edition of Wraith Radio expands the 2016 concept by providing more ample backstories, delivered in a style both fantastical and naturalistic…The reveals, when they come, are well foreshadowed and satisfying . . . .”

The playwright and adapter/director Trace Turner have crafted vivid lines, clearly  intenional [sic], that the actors deliver casually, thoughtfully, almost improvisationally, lending an aching reality to their uncertainties. Turner's careful, subtle blocking of movement between the files of seats along two sides of the rectangle keeps us engaged with them as the story develops.”
