Synopsis

Buck Fever examines an intense connection between a young couple, Gabriel and Mary Jen, after having a one-night stand. When Mary Jen’s mother, Estelle, and stepfather, Aaron, arrive at Mary Jen’s studio apartment unexpectedly, a furiously paced, humorous tale unfolds, unearthing dark secrets from the lovers’ pasts. Confronted with their demons, Mary Jen and Gabriel each find freedom from their past and salvation in the other person.

Reviews

Kelly McAllister of NYTheatre.com says:

"(Buck Fever) is tightly written. Sanchez has a great ear for modern dialogue, with just enough quirks given to the characters to make them unique."

"Charlotte Purser, as the flighty Mary Jen...comes off as a severely neurotic, spoiled little girl/woman. As her own story becomes clear, she attains a sympathy and sorrow from both Gabriel and the audience."

"Ron Garcia is likeable, wide-eyed, and painfully earnest."

"Karin Wolfe, who plays the mother Estelle, is wonderful."

"Gregory Seel is exceptionally slimy, and I mean that as a compliment."

"terraNOVA is to be commended for having the guts to produce a play that covers some really uncomfortable subjects. I look forward to seeing what they offer us next."
