“ This was great theater, an unforgetable ensemble experience with a surprising musical element and terrific visual projections -- great econony of WORDS despite the length. And a wonderful coda with Dorfman himself at the podium. ”
“ What an outstanding meetup! The play was well done and the talk by Ariel Dorfman afterwards was a real treat! ”
“ Great meetup and nice people! ”
