Start Over!"This remixedHamlet touches on a whole range of idea: the destruction of idols, nature of democracy, and very question of how to be goodthe show is as challenging as it is mad." -The Scotsman onA Thousand Natural Shocks"Simultaneously intelligent, rueful, celebratory, delightful and devastatingly sad, the show actually lives up to its ambitions." -Time Out New York onParticularly in the Heartland"How stimulating to wake up in 2009 in the hands of a present-tense theater company who knows what its doing [Architecting] considers, with a refreshing lack of judgment, just what allows people to survive catastrophe, acquiring a poignancy and humanity and quietly summoning entire lives of everyday loss." - Ben Brantley,New York Times onArchitecting"Its mix of the epic and everyday, myth and madness, music and storytelling, create a glorious patchwork in which pitch and tone - are as crucial as intellectual argument. A theatrical tornado, and a sideways glimpse into America's tarnished, weary soul." -Guardian onMission Drift |
