"Puppet Musical Debuts at MASS MoCA " :: The Williams Record
REVIEWS FROM 2004
"With delightful life-size puppets and songs ranging from anthems to music hall ditties, there's not a weak link in the entire barn. It is fun for the whole family." :: The New York Times
"A formidable menagerie...fertile theatricality...The stage bustles with invention!" :: The Village Voice
"Animal Farm is necessary theatre...Take your friends, your kids, your parents, your students..." :: NYtheatre.com
"It's a beautiful production that does justice to the book..." :: Curtain Up
"George Orwell got it right. Unfortunately for the world, that’s not very good news." :: The News-Times
"Exhilarating... As emblems of our times, Orwell's characters compel and disgust. A first-rate ensemble brings these creatures to life. When was the last time you felt intimidated by an actor wielding a rat marionette?" :: American Theatre Web
"Synapse Productions presents "The Orwell Project," a repertory program of adaptations of George Orwell's best-known novels..." :: Newsday
"Theater does need to debate the issues of our time — topics too critical for dinner conversation...” :: The Villager
"Theatergoers are encouraged to see both plays in The Orwell Project, in particular to notice how alike these classics are when viewed so closely together...” :: Theatre Mania
