YANKEE TAVERN
-Riverside Theatre, FL-
By Steven Dietz Yankee Tavern is a crumbling New York City bar. It is the place where people come to drink, connect and share stories that are only told in those places. One day, Adam, the young owner, and Janet, his fiancé, become embroiled in a conspiracy theory of personal and national significance when a stranger enters the bar and seems to know more than he should about the September 11th terrorist attacks. Yankee Tavern is a thriller laced with introspection and comedy. Directed by Allen D. Cornell "Emily Verla brings such believability to Janet, taking her through a range of emotions. She fleshes out Janet as a most likable, strong but wounded creature, who frets over the safety of Adam." - Pam Harbaugh: Vero News "At times funny, tense, mysterious and downright scary, Yankee Tavern speeds to a conclusion that leaves you emotionally spent....Patrick M. Byrnes and Emily Verla are perfect as the young couple wrestling with young couple issues as well as one major issue that trumps everything in their relationship." - Milt Thomas: Indian River Guardian |
