REVIEWS FOR THYESTES
Columbia Daily Spectator
"The spectacular costumes, designed by Ilana Breitman, BC/JTS ’13, evoke the atmosphere of a turn-of-the-century circus…there is nothing left to do but offer wholehearted applause to what is quite probably the best production this reviewer has ever seen on campus."

 “The actors’ costumes were impressive”

Didaskalia 10 (2013)

"Thyestes is full of artistic subtleties that cannot be fully appreciated with only one viewing, as was my experience. With regard to its creativity, and its occasional blurring of the line between moods of tragedy and comedy, the production takes on an almost Euripidean spirit of inventiveness. These imaginative elements are refreshing, yet at the same time they never steer too far from the sense of the Senecan text… One only wishes that a theatrical run longer than three nights were possible, as I am certain that repeated viewings would reward the viewer with new insights and continued enjoyment."
