Jonathan Spector’s brilliant Eureka Day play at Seattle Rep. Hilariously cringey, deliciously uncomfortable mirror held up to liberal idealism, passive-aggressive virtue signaling, & self-involved navel gazing. This rage-baiting satire feels right at home in woke Seattle. No wonder the right thinks we’re absurd! Set in Sara C. Walsh’s beautiful Golden Gate scenic design. I previously predicted that this play was tailor-made for the PNW in my Broadway review. It’s a must-see before closing next weekend.
