Critics Review
-
“A superhuman effort on the part of the actor in a splendid coordination of text, movement, and speech.”
d'Wort (Luxembourg)
-
“Socrates unbound! One uniquely obsessed and multitalented actor has set himself the decidedly idiosyncratic mission of proving the transcendent dramatic power of the ancient philosopher.”
American Theatre
