Critics’ Reviews (4)

A collection of our favorite reviews from professional news sources.
The New York Times

""A production that connoisseurs of precision acting will be savoring for years to come. [Director Ethan Hawke]’s cast members leap so high you may feel the safe, solid earth receding beneath you.""

The New York Times

Ben Brantley

NY1

""Harsh as the action may be, the execution is sublime. Hawke's production of A Lie of the Mind couldn't be more brutally honest.""

NY1

Rome Torre

New York Magazine

""Under the direction of Ethan Hawke...Sam Shepard’s savage love ballad lands its gut punches of black anomie and blacker humor solidly in the breadbasket. In terms of theatrical alchemy, Hawke and his team have achieved a near-perfect union.""

New York Magazine

Scott Brown

Variety

""Searing peformances. A stellar ensemble down the line.""
