What's Peen Seen? reviews the Rosemary Branch Theatre
Wuthering Heights adaptation:
Where to start? I am bursting with praise for this production. As soon as you enter the modest pub theatre you feel as though you have stepped into another world. Foliage adorns the fireplace and furniture, and a thick fog lingers in the air. The hypnotic score and haunting sound effects, provided by the irrefutably talented Benedict Davis and Matt Eaton respectively, top off this ethereal atmosphere. (...)
This is a gift of a production. [Helen] Tennison has used this strong company to their advantage. She mixes the themes of destructive love and social expectations into this haunting play, adding in hints of her own movement background to create a beautiful and expressive spectacle. I cannot wait to see what this company does next. (Jess Nesling)
Il Manifesto (Italy) reviews the Italian translation of
Jane, le renard et moi:
Profondamente poetica, Jane, la volpe & io delle canadesi Isabelle Arsenault (illustratrice) e Fanny Britt (autrice) è una graphic novel portata in Italia da Mondadori (pp. 100, euro 16) che l’anno scorso è stata indicata tra le prime dieci più belle del 2013 dal New York Times. In effetti, lo è sul serio. Vuoi per quei «riquadri» in un bianco e nero antichizzante, o leggermente seppiati, che rendono universale la sensazione di solitudine di qualsiasi adolescente (con le incursioni del colore quando entra in scena Jane Eyre, alter-ego e immagine di un riscatto possibile), vuoi per il testo che sottolinea la malinconia esistenziale della protagonista, che vede sbiadire la sua identità e il suo precedente mondo, giorno dopo giorno. (Arianna DiGenova) (Translation)
