Reviews
“One of the few groups successfully taking theatre in new directions”
— The New York Times
(May 2008)
“Prodigious talent and discipline”
— Village Voice
(April 2008)
“A delicious deceit, a musical treatise of disappointments, a self-described cabaret of “rites and wrongs.” And every gloomy thing it purports to be, it isn't”
“[A] trippy spectacle… mind-blowing… makes women giggle and men pale…
This creepy yet compelling circus, designed with terrible beauty and
macabre skill, has lasting impact.”
“Amazing and thoughtful… An incredibly disturbing, incredibly good show. The acting [is] just phenomenal.”
“A tableau of alive minds over dead matter… The play turns inside out, then begins twisting, too… The lines pack new punches… The cast is exceptional.”
“Imaginatively performed, realistically designed
and superbly directed… the intensely physical and theatrically unique piece is
a welcome departure from the
predictable and listless Shakespeare productions we've become accustomed to.
There's nothing remotely conventional about Isabella.”
“But, once again, Pig Iron's theatrical inventions are not only experimental - and in this case risky in the extreme - but vital theater… It's an instant dark classic.”
