I couldn’t have selected a better director for my play, Ptomaine Poison, if I’d auditioned, interviewed and made the choice myself. Vanessa Evans was a God-send. The Festival’s presentation was billed as a staged reading, but Vanessa created a drama filled experience. Yes the actors used the scripts liberally, but under her direction, the play came alive, totally alive. Vanessa had a vision for the work; was obviously invested in that vision; and was able to inspire the audience (and the writer) to accept her vision. I can only wish that if the play makes it to a stage near her that she is selected as the director. She definitely has my vote. (If you need an exceptional director for your piece, do consider Vanessa Evans; I’m sure she can work her magic on other pieces just as well.)
