"All I can say is WOW when thinking about Ryan Vincent Anderson in the tour de force, one man historical play, Bright Swords. A Geffen or Mark Taper worthy-drama, Bright Swords tells the epic story of Ira Aldridge, an African American actor who fled New York in 1825 to become a star on the European stage in London and helped changed the tide of slavery in the British Empire. Written by Ric Creese and directed by Jeff Wienckowski, this was Anderson's Fringe debut - and oh what a debut it was. A solid hour of weaving through decades of Aldrich's life in song and story without breaking a sweat or missing a beat. The most affecting drama at Fringe.
