REYKJAVIK AT ACTOR’S EXPRESS unfolds beneath the otherworldly glow of the Northern Lights, where tourists and locals mingle in the shadows of Iceland’s capital city. As told by Los Angeles-based playwright Steve Yockey, an Atlanta favorite with a strong national reputation, eight interconnected vignettes play out. We eavesdrop on lovers, siblings, hotel employees, sex workers and even some birds with really strong opinions. In true Yockey style (Pluto, Blackberry Winter, Wolves, Octopus) this collision of sex and danger introduces a world in which the supernatural is closer than we think. The six-person cast is directed by frequent Express collaborator Melissa Foulger and features such familiar faces as Stephanie Friedman (pictured), Eliana Marianes, Joe Sykes and Ben Thorpe (Alliance Theatre’s Hand to God).
