“Caligula is pure alchemy. This director is the philosopher’s stone; this production will stay with you. ”
“When the play ended my partner and I couldn’t move from our seats. My partner was so affected he couldn’t speak. This is profound theatre.”
“I have seen a lot of theatre but never anything like this. A special experience that both assaults and touches our hearts in an execution of logic and emancipation from being human.”
“Truly an ambitious and original adaptation.”
“Caligula’s scenes may go down as some of the saddest I’ve seen on stage . . . I could never have imagined the kind of magic that I witnessed.”
“Bold, ballsy and off the charts . . . exciting, dangerous and unpredictable.’”
