The Paul Dresher Ensemble: Slow Fire March 18, 2007

'Slow Fire' examines the dark passions lurking behind the veneer of "normal" American middle-class life. Writer and performer Rinde Eckert plays an average man precariously balancing the banalities of day-to-day practicalities and the complexity of a disturbed psyche. Music by Paul Dresher highlights this production, which the San Francisco Chronicle called "simply a masterpiece."
