Starring Romi Dias | Written by Benjamin Benne

Romi Dias delivers a breathtaking, masterclass performance in Benjamin Benne’s at the very bottom of a body of water. As Marina, Dias anchors the stage with a profound mix of grief, resilience, and wry humor—infusing the role with a gravity that firmly places her alongside theatrical titans like Willy Loman and Madame Ranevskaya.

What makes Dias’s work so extraordinary is its restraint. She builds the character’s loneliness with quiet, subtle nuance, only to let loose an emotional avalanche in the final scene that completely devastates and uplifts the audience in equal measure.

Benjamin Benne’s writing provides a rich, poetic framework that allows Dias to explore the deepest recesses of human vulnerability. Every pause, every sideways glance, and every deliberate movement serves a purpose, creating an intimate theatrical atmosphere that resonates long after the lights go down. The staging and pacing , by Director Juliette Carillo, at Boston Court Pasadena further elevate the material, matching the stellar caliber of the central performance step-for-step. Playing for a strictly limited five-week run at Boston Court Pasadena, this is an unforgettable theatrical experience you simply cannot afford to miss. For anyone tracking the finest dramatic performances currently gracing Los Angeles stages, this production stands out as a definitive must-see highlight of the season.
