Reviews

We are very lucky to have had some wonderful reviews of the FringeNYC performances this past August.

August Schulenburg of NYtheatre.com wrote:

“…this piercingly political play never sacrifices the characters’ complexity or agency in exposing the rottenness of the apartheid system.

“This lovingly detailed yet epic story somehow fits in Maisels’s single body…”

“ This bracingly unsentimental play does justice to the complexities of love and identity under the pressures of injustice.”

HYreviews.com raves:

“Writer/performer Gabrielle Maisels delivered the best one person show of the festival… Maisels picks and enacts key scenes of their lives with such care that by the end the story will hit you like a hammer to the heart.”

“She brings each character to full life in a fraction of a second…”

“…she's so emotionally giving that you can't help but respond in kind.”

“…one of the finest solo performers I've ever been lucky enough to experience.”

And Dan Bacalzo of theatremania.com wrote,

“The writer/performer does not present any easy solutions to the lingering racism within the country, but instead chooses to create layered characters in a complex situation.”

“…the show's bittersweet conclusion packs a powerful punch.”
