PRESS

"Jahnke directs with elegance and insight. He provides a luscious sightscape and coaxes excellent work from his actors." - Village Voice



"As always, Jahnke creates a gorgeous design to serve up such gruesomeness… the play offers some very concrete shocks." - Time Out



"His images are so arresting and poignant that you ride along, even toward unclear destinations… a disorienting, demanding exploration." - Backstage



"Truly amazing, even shocking things happen… Jahnke's imagination is fertile and his sensibility is utterly original: this is an adventure in theatre that can honestly be called unique." - Nytheatre.com



"Jahnke is an eternally precocious, prankish highbrow with a taste for blood and bile. Pretty pictures and pleasant sentiments clash against graphic sex, dismemberment, stabbings and any number of familial taboos… elegantly designed and staged." - Show Business
