Press:

“Nancy Keystone not only hits every note with precision and perfection, she manages to add great depth to the words with her brilliant use of lighting, music, props, and projection. At times the experience becomes surreal and cinematic…The staging is complex and its intricacy continuously forces the audience to stay out of any sort of usual playgoer comfort zone. Keystone also designed the starkly functional set which comes alive in unexpected ways throughout.” –Bill Swadley, Huffington Post

The relentlessness of the piece, part expressionistic psychodrama, part dystopian adventure tale, is compounded by a purposefully disorienting style that doesn’t merely describe Charlie’s state of mind but enacts it…Nancy Keystone’s uncompromising staging, making imaginative use of a monochromatic set she designed…catches the sense of urban anomie to a point that would have had Kafka waving a little white flag.” –Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times (Exactly. He got it, he just didn’t like it.)
