Praise for Minna


"The ensemble's passionate but precise performances are supported by imaginative set, costume, and sound design that immerse actors and audience alike in a vivid dream world."

-Chicago Reader

"The actors all give admirable, incredibly energetic individual performances-"

-Newcity Stage

"Yet all actors manage to channel this insanity into something real, something worth watching. No. More than worth watching—something great. This was art."

-Chicago Theater Blog

"The entire cast creates a compelling spectacle of dramatic lunacy."

-Chicago Stage Review

"...the prodigious spectacle [is] supplied by the ensemble of physical and verbally agile players.”

-Windy City

"I think the evening is ultimately memorable because Wiesner and her actors and creative team throw themselves firmly, fiercely, and committedly into the weirdness.  Wiesner’s images, are memorable: the naked Cupid on a catwalk dropping the billowing sheet he is wearing onto the actors onstage below (as is usual at Trap Door, where everyone pairs acting in the play with something else, the actor playing Cupid, Dave Holcombe, is also the box-office person.  Where else in this city, other than Trap Door Theater, can you have a guy cross your name off the reservations list and hand you a program one minute, and then show you his bare ass the next?)"
