Reviews – What The Critics Are Saying:
“Ali Kennedy-Scott is a whirlwind, an irrepressible bundle of energy, spine and spirit, in “The Day the Sky Turned Black,” her one-woman show at the IATI Theater. It seems almost paradoxical that such a bright presence could write and perform the play, an enthralling if harrowing account of “Black Saturday” in 2009, when bush fires ravaged her native Australia. Yet by the production’s end, it’s clear that there is no one more suited to have conceived and presented it.”
New York Times
“In this extraordinarily simple and curiously beautiful work, Kennedy Scott switches between the narratives of five fictional people caught up in a real-life disaster. Every one of the stories is breathtakingly compelling; every one of them brings a fresh perspective, a new remembered horror and a new reason for hope…go and see The Day The Sky Turned Black, an emotional tour-de-force and by far the best of the many one-actor shows I’ve taken in at the Fringe this year. “

“while there are some striking moments, theatergoers might be expecting deeper, more distinct portrayals.”
