Timothy Egan's New York Times commentary "Slumburbia"—and the reader comments on it—offer some parallels to Paradise Lost.
Our upcoming production Paradise Lost voices the anger and hope of a family struggling to find solid ground in a sinking economy. Check out these articles and photos that explore the parallels between the 1930s and today.
The blog isn't the only place for comments on our website: you can also comment on the show pages themselves, and we've been getting some great dialogue in the comments on the Donkey Show and Sleep No More pages. We're always so thrilled to hear what our audiences think of their experiences and we welcome you to share your thoughts and impressions!
Commenters on Sleep No More are saying:
"Christ on ice - if you live in Massachusetts, buy a ticket for this NOW. Punchdrunk gave me two of the wildest nights of my life."
"Fantastic show! I will certainly see it again. Word to the wise: Do NOT dress up for this!..."
"We came home and immediately bought 4 more tickets. This is such an amazing experience and truly the best of interactive theatre."
"Run, don't walk to see this viscerally gripping and visually stunning immersive re-imagining of Macbeth.... The movement was glorious and at times, almost overwhelming, in it's animal ferocity. One of the most intense and fulfilling experiences I have ever had at the theatre. I can't wait to go back again!"
And commenters on The Donkey Show are saying:
"However, with no expectations on you but to dance to oldies for the first half hour, most of the audience was down on the floor and into the action. It was just plain fun. When the story began around us, and kept moving, it was easy to be drawn in on a different level than sitting and watching promotes."
"If you have a chance GO SEE THE SHOW. See for yourself the great performance and have the night of your life."
"I am a longtime subscriber and faithful to the ART. I loved the Donkey Show..."
A couple of weeks ago we had an amazing workshop presentation of an opera in progress, Death and the Powers.
Join us Saturday, October 3 as we travel to Brookline to uncover the secret of Cawdor Seeds on a Sleep No More scavenger hunt.
Several of us from the A.R.T. trekked down to the big apple yesterday for the presentation at the end of a one-week workshop kindly hosted by the folks at The Public Theater.
