Press Quotes
“My heart started breaking at 9:45 last night, a little more than two hours into Great Lakes Theater Festival’s THE WILD DUCK, breaking for a once-happy family sucked down into the depths. It may take a while to get there as Ibsen marches deliberately and unswervingly toward the precipice, but your heart too is in for an exhausting but enlightening workout … Written in 1884, this Norwegian masterpiece could hardly be more at home in the United States in 2000. It is a play about destructively false idealism that leads to self-righteous campaigns against human foibles. It could easily be about Kenneth Starr. Translator and adaptor Anthony Clarvoe [has] chosen to update the language and to set the play in the Cleveland of today … Except for the Americanization of names and a few almost invisible trims, Clarvoe’s is a remarkably faithful update.” —Tony Brown, Cleveland Plain Dealer
