“Stowell manages to paint an imaginative world so lucid that the stage itself is almost incidental. The real show happens inside your mind, in a place veteran Stowell- watchers will instantly recognize-a world realistic and surreal, infused with a novelist’s attention to detail, a comedian’s sense of timing, and an actors gift for poignant silences.” © Jim Stowell 2011 One Festival, Three Days, and a World of Stories!
