| IN THE PRESS
"An immersive experience (the music helps this, too) that's both suggestively fanciful and starkly simplified. You feel like you're in some other world of gods and titans." - Weekly Dig "Just as she did with her playful Donkey Show, Paulus turns a nightclub space into a hive of theatrical action....Propelled by a lean script, cut-to-the-quick lyrics and an angst-filled score, this world preem hits the zeitgeist jackpot." - Variety Critics from Variety, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Boston Herald, WBUR's "Here and Now," Boston Phoenix, Weekly Dig, and Theatremania all love this show! |
