Critics are “dazzled!”


It took a minute, but the press has finally arrived and it speaks for itself:

“…aesthetically entrancing…”

“…encouraging the imagination…”

“The effect is hypnotic”

But wait! There’s more:

“Matthew Bamberg-Johnson’s interaction with the audience was effortlessly relaxed,
as he leaned into his listeners with confident familiarity and warmth. Listening
to his voice reverberating around the auditorium, the visual focus was on the
projections or the silhouette of his silent wife, played by Genevieve Gearhart, slowly
dancing behind the screen.

Gearhart is graceful and elegant, with minimal gestural movements delivered
with calm precision and brief moments of bright, wonderfully animated facial
expressions. Her silence produces a disconcerting intensity when she is present,
often seen behind the first screen as if lost in some other world. This separation is
intensified through the tender interactions between the silhouette of Gearhart and
the physical body of her husband. Is she lost to him forever in her grief?

The mesmerizing nature of both performers, physically and vocally, created an
overly dazzling effect when teamed with the dreamy projections…”

Obviously, we’re proud. But don’t just take our word for it. Audiences have been
writing in to tell us how they feel too:

“An engrossing piece of theatre… I loved it.”

“Beautiful movement and acting”

“Very emotive. Well done.”

“A moving and thought-provoking performance that demonstrates great versatility
for the actors and superb direction, this show will please those familiar with
Nabokov and those discovering his work for the first time.”
