Reviews are coming in for ALL MY FATHERS

“All My Fathers is a clever, circumspect examination of paternity and “how to find it,” ...Young’s humor is salient and sardonic. The actors are just terrific. Yionoulis’ direction reflects the balance needed to move from the dramatic beginning to the humorous, absurdist ending and the lovely reconciliation at the conclusion.” 

- Carole Di Tosti, Theater Pizzazz

"All My Fathers is a surprisingly nimble and funny fantasia on an issue that affects all of us, even if one's family life wasn't a textbook nightmare and one's forbears have been long correctly identified. Evan Yionoulis stages these games of identity charades with fluency, slipping between reality and fantasy with supple skill." 

- David Barbour, Lighting & Sound America

ALL MY FATHERS

Written by Paul David Young 
Directed by Evan Yionoulis

October 03 - October 20, 2019

Thursday to Saturday at 8PM; Sunday at 5PM

Downstairs @ La MaMa
66 East 4th Street
New York, NY 10003

The playwright's elderly, demented mother says he’s the bastard child of the family pediatrician. The surreal, seemingly scripted disclosure instantly rewrites his devoutly Christian, Southern upbringing. The tragicomedy incorporates Arthur Miller’s All My Sons and other family plays, such as Hamlet, Oedipus, Elektra, Well, and The Seagull.

Tickets: $30 Adult; $25 Student/Senior Tickets (+$1 Facility Fee)

Reviews are in for PYLADE!

"Pylade is a one of a kind production, that shines because of its fearlessness and commitment."

- Jose Solis, Stage Buddy

"under Ivica Buljan’s fine direction and the company’s terrific performances—especially that of Marko Mandić in the lead role—it also makes for an intense and entertaining (if difficult to digest at times) evening of theater."

~ JK Clarke, Theater Pizzazz

"This production achieves this mixture of sacrilegious and transcendence through an alchemy of sound, movement, and acting...Marko Mandic is one of the bravest actors in the city."

~Aurin Squire, New York Theatre Review

"The clarity of the Greeks, the raw intellectuals of Pasolini, and the boldness of La MaMa make up for an invaluable spectacle in New York City."

~  Mateus Ciucci Ferreira, Theatre is Easy

“A grand display of dynamic staging combining dance, physical combat, and glorious tableaux!”

~  Darryl Reilly, TheaterScene.net

"Pylade is the tragedy of the hubris of the liberal elite and the nihilism of the disenfranchised — a tragedy our world is presently living through again as people across the globe increasingly turn to extremist ideology....we feel the full brunt of this tale of cyclical cataclysmic confrontation."

~Zachary Stewart, TheaterMania

The reviews are IN for NELLA TEMPESTA!

“'Nella Tempesta,' which runs through Dec. 21 at the Ellen Stewart Theater at La MaMa, 

is a full-throated cry to the young and disaffected to get off their collective duffs, 

shake off their shackles and do something. Conceived and directed 

by Daniela Nicolò and Enrico Casagrande, this production turns 

a cast of six and an assortment of blankets into an 80-minute youthquake 

that seems likely to leave even cynical audience members shaken and stirred."

- Ben Brantley, The New York Times

-----

"a ruminative and resonant production by Italy's Motus Theatre Company...This isn't so much a drama as an evocative theatrical search through the symbolic sphere. Nella Tempesta can be discursive, but ultimately it makes an elegiac and stirring forecast of bad political weather headed our way." 

-Tom Sellar, Village Voice

-----

"BEST BET...A mind expanding new production from Italy’s Motus Theatre Company that masterfully illuminates contemporary political and climate change issues alongside text borrowed from Shakespeare."

- Keith Paul Medelis, Theatre Is Easy

-----

"Political Drama At Its Finest...It’s refreshing to see this kind of play at La MaMa. Plays like Nella Tempesta provide exactly the kind of theater experience that keeps La MaMa so relevant."

- Marcina Zaccaria, Theater Pizzazz 

-----

 the third production of “The Tempest” at LaMaMa this season, 
and it is richly inventive and visually arresting.
..it’s the blankets that make this show so breathtaking. 
The blankets comfort, and buffet and transport us. 

- Jonathan Mandell, New York Theater.me

Theater Pizzazz on NELLA TEMPESTA

Marcina Zaccaria, of Theater Pizzazz,  has high praise for Motus Theatre Company's Nella Tempesta, now playing at The Ellen Stewart Theatre until December 21.

"Political Drama At Its Finest" 

"rigorous theater that is unafraid of the larger inquiry into dynamics of power and people." 

"It’s refreshing to see this kind of play at La MaMa. Plays like Nella Tempesta provide exactly the kind of theater experience that keeps La MaMa so relevant."
