I’m very excited to have opened Wolf Play at The Gift Theatre! It is a very unique and emotionally palpable play. I’m very proud of the work I’m doing in it, and of the work the other artists are putting forth. I highly recommend it. But, you don’t need to take my word for it! Here’s some links and quotes from some reviews that came out this week:
“I simply cannot say enough good things about this show. I'd see it again, despite the ending. And about that: I wasn't at all prepared for it to conclude as it did, but maybe the fact that I could get so viscerally and emotionally involved in a play as to hate its ending with such vehemence says something ultimately very positive about Jung's writing overall, the characters she created and the way this company has brought them to life.”

“Never doubt the emotional layers possible from an expertly crafted, exquisitely manipulated puppet.”

“The show is effective and quietly heartbreaking as we watch the ways real people do not fit into those neatly drawn characters and real life not play out into neatly drawn conclusions. Given life by a very talented cast, the story is moving, at times overwhelming, and it should definitely be on your short list for what to see this summer.”

”That Mr. Martin was able to play such a despicable character without going over the top solidified the toxicity of WOLF PLAY.”
