Reviews – What The Critics Are Saying:
“a clever new adaptation of August Strindberg’s expressionistic work A Dream Play…Therrien’s use of masks, puppetry, and the Tadashi Suzuki method of acting is inspired, giving Dreamplay the right sense of off-kilter fun and danger.
The 12-person cast display boundless energy in the creation of the subversive Dreamplay experience…which, in its abstract way, asks how we are able to survive and even thrive in such a sorrow-filled existence. Dreamplay doesn’t offer answers, but it encourages us to ponder the big questions that surround our existence.”
TheaterMania
“part dark nightmare, part colorful dream, and a theatrical experience that is sure to be a highlight of this season’s FringeNYC Festival. Writer-director-puppet designer Therrien has done a terrific job coordinating disparate elements into one cohesive vision, and he clearly cares a great deal for his subject matter. The play has been workshopped at the National Puppetry Conference at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center and premiered at the Connecticut Repertory Theatre. This time in development has paid off with a fully realized production, and one that I highly recommend.”
