 PENTECOST:
"Alysia Reiner commands the stage as Yasmin, a Palestinian Kuwaiti refugee, who also becomes part of the play’s tapestry. " "As Pentecost moves toward its explosive conclusion, the audience’s mind will race from the play’s rich debates even as hearts pound from the drama that unfolds." -- AMERICAN THEATRE WEB "Taut staging" "Talented ensemble feels authentic in their technically challenging roles." Stephen Singer’s and Oksana Lada’s performances as Leo Katz and Gabriella Pecs, respectively, are the most vivid in my mind, followed closely by Alysia Reiner (Yasmin, the Palestinian leader of the refugees)” -- NYTHEATRE.COM "The fast-paced, heady banter in the initial setup is confident and clever" "A ragtag group of political asylum seekers, including a Sri Lankan, a pair of Bosnian Gypsies, an Afghan, a Kurd and a Mozambican, led by a furious Palestinian (well played by Alysia Reiner), take over the church, and we're abruptly switched from a PBS program to CNN." "Never boring" "engaging" (Read more quotes here.) -- Phoebe Hoban, The New York Times "A work of genius" "Although some of the principals evidence this holding back, Singer as Katz and Reiner as Yasmin definitely do not, which makes their caustic exchanges among the play's most incendiary moments." -- THEATREMANIA.COM "This is a not to be missed opportunity to see a really full bodied play -- full of good performances, full of ideas, full of excitement" -- CURTAIN UP |
