The Reviews Are In: Much Love for THE CHAIRS!


"potent, perplexing, inspiring and weird. Consistently, though, it’s quite engaging to watch. 'The Chairs' is wonderfully accessible." 
 - Ken Jaworowski, The New York Times 

"plenty of food for thought...a powerful and beautifully designed theatrical experience." 
 - Zachary Stewart, TheaterMania 

 "The Chairs asks us to listen and look very closely as we observe a parade of visual, textual and auditory artifacts pass before us. And yet, one of my preferred moments included the rare presence of a human being speaking plainly, purposefully and directly onstage. I hearken back to the words of Sister Wendy, one of the many visitors, who reminds us that it is “very hard to make judgments on the works of our own time. We have to wait.” I am waiting to see what Skipitares does next in this new era of her work and grateful that LaMaMa still exists as a home for theatrical experimentation." 
- Catherine Mueller, New York Theatre Review

George Drance, of Magis Theatre Company, will be performing *mark, a new solo performance based on The Gospel of Mark, at La MaMa, May 29th - June 15th. Here, he answers our six questions.

1. You describe *mark as seeking "to reclaim the original power and urgency" of the message contained in the Gospel of Mark. How would you describe that message?
