BLACKBIRD
“AS PER UNA, RAVERA IS IMPRESSIVE IN SWIFTLY MOVING HER CHARACTER FROM CHILDLIKE NAIVETY, TO PREPUBESCENT ROMANTICISM; FROM RESTLESSNESS TO DISTRESS. HER BODY ON STAGE PERFORMS, RATHER THAN JUST RECOUNTING, THE INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCES OF PETER’S MISDEEDS. FURTHER, RAVERA’S DILIGENT DELIVERIES MANAGE FOR SOME DRY HUMOUR TO CUT THROUGH THE NEGATIVE AFFECT OF THE PLAY.”
LA VOCE DI NEW YORK, ON BLACKBIRD
“Sassy, sexy, and full of enthusiasm as the coy young woman that has just bedded Doug. […]
As Beth, Ravera pulls all the stops. Her performance is natural, very believable, with a sweet mix of vulnerability and strength that is perfect for this character.”
