Eyes on
World Cultures
"Don't miss this play....timely...exquisitely directed... tense enough to cause that heart-in-the-throat feeling." - Brenda Repland  |
 "A heroic revival.... this isn't just the stale 'relevant' theater of yesteryear, but a devastating record of the kind of cruelty and courage that echoes throughout human history." -Zachary Stewart  "well-wrought....a gripping and sad tale" - Nicole Colbert  "Superb acting....The drama of power politics, party loyalty and sycophancy, and betrayal resonates loudly." - Beate Hein Bennett Transitions Online "Highly effective....does a valuable service." - Peter Rutland |
