PRAISE FOR
CURSE OF THE STARVING CLASS
JEFF RECOMMENDED
"RECOMMENDED ... In Kyra Lewandowski's explosive production ... Michelle Lilly O'Brien's set perfectly suggests decay, while the cast deftly capture Shepard's mix of heightened realism, black comedy, and scenery-demolishing violence."
- Zac Thompson
Chicago Reader
"New Leaf, continuing its string of solid enactments of challenging plays ... navigates a powerful, cogent production ... Victoria Gilbert's feminine and bitter Ella is darkly entertaining, and a formidable John Gray shrewdly modulates the long windup and devastating pitch of Weston's alcoholic rage"
- Megan Powell
TimeOut Chicago
"... [the] charged performances and palpable pathos are riveting. Gruff, frightening, volatile, drunk and large enough to be dangerous, ... [John] Gray's performance is absolutely phenomenal ... this production really is excellent."
- Julienne Bilker
Chicagoist
"Michelle Lilly O'Brien's set [is] a marvelous mini-symphony of squalor"
- Kerry Reid
Chicago Tribune
"There is a lot of important information that is left unsaid in Curse, leaving the audience unsettled and probing in the dark. Lewandowski and her team understand this critical aspect - they know to close doors as they open windows."
- Barry Eitel
