Reviews
-
How stimulating to wake up in the hands of a present-tense theater company who knows what it's doing.
The New York Times
-
One leaves the theatre thrilled by a company so determined to push the boundaries of theatrical possibility.
The Telegraph
-
The TEAM bring the past, present, and future in a glorious mélange of jumble and judicious ordering onto the stage at the same time…visionary in concept
and execution, this show reminds you of Tony (Angels in America) Kushner and sometimes of Robert (The Dragons' Trilogy) Lepage.The Independent
-
The TEAM are theatrical excavators of American culture, American dreams and the American psyche, understanding the intimate connection between past and present, celluloid and reality.
The Guardian
-
The trademark of the TEAM's work is a fierce, endlessly creative willingness to try to understand the stories and the meaning of their own country. And their
approach to theatre makes no concessions to any traditional idea of what this art-form should look like…The Scotsman
-
The TEAM is one of the most exciting groups of theatremakers I have ever seen. Their work is at once in-your-face and in-your-heart. They will a kind of zany, heartbreaking fever dream to the stage and their commitment to make compelling, vital work is enormous. Plus they're not afraid to get filthy dirty, hyperventilate, or nearly die.
Adam Rapp, Playwright
