Bay Area Critic’s Circle nomination for Best Direction.
… a full roster of terrific performances makes it both funny and very touching in director Kirsten Brandt’s finely honed production. – SF Gate
Etched with nuance by a first-rate ensemble, these characters eventually shake off their stereotypical qualities and force us to explore the painful reality of how relationships come to define who we are. Sensitively staged by Kirsten Brandt, “Next Fall” truly pulls us in during its poignant second act when the characters must face the tall shadows of mortality. – San Jose Mercury News
The sharp writing of Geoffrey Nauffts and the extraordinary pacing from director Kirsten Brandt on a magnificent set designed by Annie Smart beautifully shapes the play itself. Brandt’s direction is able to exploit both of the main issues of the play with gentle and forceful fluidity. – Bay Area Plays
