Review

"A dramatization by Hanne Tierney from the story of
E. Abbot- conceived by Tierney and sculptor, Jenett Highstein.
The romance of geometrical shapes is very witty - Satirical!"
"The innovative use of flat cut-outs."
"A hauntingly beautiful story and abstract images moved
from above. This was Hanne's best and most powerful piece."

"Although abstract - moving - a real feat! Powerful!
Unique! The quintessential version of the Seagull by Chekov."

Review
panelists said:
" A full stage production using rod puppets, giant puppets,
shadows and live performers. It was, for me, a beautiful dream
with glorious music and just the right magical treatment for
the nightingale's story."
"The secret was imaginative and well conceived with
much humor that was sophisticated and subtly woven in."
"The designs of the show were masterful; in their use
of light and sound to sculpt and add texture and atmosphere
to the scenic elements."

Review
panelists said:
"One of the most innovative, poetic and moving theatre-puppet
productions I have seen in several years! ...San interpretation
of Barrie's classic novel."
"This is marvelous, played as children play - fancifully
with figures under the bed, in and out of the toy box. The
performing ensemble moved as smoothly as choreographed ballet.
It had magic."
" ...magical spell of gaelic music and visually poetic
imagery. Puppets emphasized the idea of never growing up. A
bittersweet tale of lost childhood by Wendy as well as Peter."

Review
panelists said:
"...a young girl, while searching for her lost watch, falls
into an altered space/time/meaning warp where nothing is as
expected. After several adventures, she returns to the present
here/now."
"...this mature and multi-talented company combines arresting
images, masterful manipulation, creative storytelling and a
delightful sense of the absurd to create a stunning production."
"...the puppets were wonderful, staging unique and effective
and the total concept beautifully executed."
"....four puppeteers in bunraku style presented in french...audience
was given an outline of the plot so the language was no barrier.
Very high production values!"
"....the audience was completely captivated by this imaginative
fantasy which begins in a school washroom and ends up in the
hands of Crazy Time."
"Colorful characters, humorous script and wonderful shifting
sets all contributed to a wonderful evening of professional
theatre."
