Susan as Blanche Du Bois
"Susan Priver embodies the frazzled despondence of Blanche in a manner that evokes both pity and contempt and ultimately
compassion. Ms. Priver's focused and detailed characterization provides a path to insight and understanding of this most complicated character." Ben Miles: ShowMag "Casting is always a top priority with the roles of Blanche, Stanley and Stella...Thankfuly, when director Jack Heller saw Susan Priver as down-on-her-luck showgirl Myrtle in Williams "Kingdom of Earth," he knew right away that she is a Williams woman...And of course, Priver is also brilliantly able to create the fragility of the emotional basket case Blanche has become..." Shari Barrett: Broadway World "Susan Priver delivers a moving Blanche DuBois..." Dena Burroughs: The Fume of Sighs "Masterful...Susan Priver brings a heart-breaking vulnerability to Blanche..."

Stanley and Blanche
"One misstep producing this complex full-evening play, and it can go from being a poetic, passionate, sensual, sexual experience,
to an over-the-top campy mess. Luckily, director Jack Heller and his top-notch cast --- which includes a stunning Susan Priver as Blanche --- makes this production one that would make Mr Williams proud, and rightfully elucidates why this is his greatest work." Joan Alperin Stage and Cinema "Ms Priver crafted a compelling portrayal that rivaled that of Vivian Leigh's in the iconic 1950's film adaptation, illuminating the fragile elegance of her existence with an endearing ballet-like movement and an improbable cadence to her speech. It was nearly impossible to take my eyes (and ears) off her, her sweet and swift southern coos of how life is supposed to be while practically gliding across the stage.. She would at once lull us into falling for her charms then unleash a ferocity when it came to battling her sister's brutish husband. At the end of the play she revealed just how deeply tragic her romantic life had been..." Steve Gottfried: Cultural Weekly |

misguided maternalism, balancing aching sincerity with seedy humor."

"Susan Priver revels as the not-so-blushing bride Myrtle...Priver's innocent flirtations with Burke
dangerously amp up the friction and sexual attraction...Nice and hot seduction dance!"

he three central performances are mostly good, with Susan Priver as Glory stealing the show. Glory carries this
innocence about her...her intentions aren't always clear, and I liked how Priver played it."

"The performances are all quite good with Susan Priver delivering a memorable one as Glory. Her face paints a picture of
madness but also of that one innocent spark waiting for someone or something to set her free from her circumstances in life."
Rogue Cinema: Matthew Saliba
