    Columbinus was excellent!

    by Jaybe1 on 3/26/13HOTTIX - Chicago

    This was a very intense but worthwhile production. I have done a bit of reading on the topic and also was a high school teacher when the actual event occurred, so it was of great personal interest. The "blackboard" was a great aspect of the production, and the sound and lighting were both excellent. I came away feeling enlightened.

    OUCH!

    by missmuckle on 3/26/13HOTTIX - Chicago

    Powerful, painful, poignant, preventable. Sound and light designs added a great deal to this great ensemble of young actors. I hesitated seeing this play because I knew it would be upsetting but that's what needs to happen...we need to get VERY upset and then take action. It's now become such an old story....rebellion, anger, drugs, alcohol, mental illness, guns, violence...and ignorance.

    disappointing script

    by NicoExTheatrum on 3/26/13HOTTIX - Chicago

    essentially, once the play is over, you ask "so what?"... okay, one doesn't need a dozen permutations [of the same situation] to understand that yes, we all play this game of "splitting up" our personalities. script is rather banal, if not prosaic.

    Well-Acted Adaptation of an Excellent Novel

    by gafgaf on 3/26/13HOTTIX - Chicago

    While I don't generally love adaptations of works from other media, The City & The City is a favorite novel, brilliantly and imaginatively conceived as a work of speculative fiction. While I didn't think that the production captured all of the nuance of the book, it was quite well-acted, especially Inspector Borlu. I wish the curtain call was such that I could have given him a standing ovation. Still, I think that the production might have been confusing to someone who had not read the novel and was less glorious than reading the novel. It is rare that an adaptation can match the original. This one did not, but kudos to the actors who made this an enjoyable evening.

    Exquisite

    by loone on 3/26/13HOTTIX - Chicago

    I saw Aspects of Love when it came the the "big stage" at the Civic Opera House in the 80's. This actors at the Theo Ubique were every bit as talented. The standing ovation they received was well deserved. While the book is not as well known as Phantom, the music is beautiful and it is beautifully performed by Kelli Harrington, Sean Thomas, Colette Todd and Matthew Keffer. It has to be a challenge to act when you are arm's length from the audience but cast is incredible.

    absolutely fabulous

    by Theee8r on 3/26/13HOTTIX - Chicago

    Columbinus was absolutely fabulous. The subject matter was covered in a creative way that invented and re-invented they style in which it was done. The production values were excellent--minimal set was ideal; the sound was well suited to the piece; the lighting was spot on; and the acting and directing was amazing. Well done!!!

    Everything is illuminated was riveting

    by Safran on 3/26/13HOTTIX - Chicago

    A very well acted adaption of the book by Jonathan Safran Foer about a young Jewish man going to the Ukraine to learn about his family's history.

    Well worth it!

    by Vigi7 on 3/25/13HOTTIX - Chicago

    Never read this play but just became totally immersed as it played out. Leave it to Shakespeare and his tricks, things not always what they seem or appear to be. Great actors, able to keep the shakespearan accent even with thier NY or irish or pimp accent. Enjoyable, unexpected ending, but that made it even better.

    Robert Falls is a master of bringing classics into the modern world. The acting was superb. Just a great evening at the theater.

    Be astonished and amazed

    by oneoftwodrifters on 3/20/13HOTTIX - Chicago

    I went to see this show with my husband, my 81 year old mom and a good friend. We all loved this show. Dennis Watkins is terrific. We've also seen him at the Magic Parlor. Great cast, beautiful aerialist, heart warming story. Sad to say we saw this on closing night, so we can't send our friends and family. Hopefully the House Theater will reprise this show or another company will produce it.
