NY Innovative Theater Award Nominations, 2006

OUTSTANDING SOLO PERFORMANCE: Joshua Randall

 

FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES
"...a handsome production..."
"In a portrayal that combines the violent gymnastics of an Elizabeth Streb dancer with the self-regarding assertiveness of a poetry slammer, Mr. Randall sets about mitigating the flowery excesses of  'The Sorrows of Young Werther,'"
"spectacular silver set...expressive lighting...extraordinary costuming, and sound...that ranges from the ambient to the startling"

FROM NYTHEATRE.COM
"For those in search of ambitious and audacious young theatre artists flexing their muscles, IN DELIRIUM... is can't-miss theater."
"...thrilling, exhilarating theater...truly remarkable...a rich and emotional theatricalization...spare and immaculate...Randall delivers an authentic tour de force"


FROM GAY CITY NEWS
"Magnificent...striking and sublime...a fully integrated, tightly constructed 65 minutes."
"The stunning staging by Cardenas and the breathtaking and powerful performance by Randall achieve a kind of beauty, for all the darkness of the material, that makes this a rich and exhilarating piece of art."
"The beauty of the language, the artistic vision, and the performance are awe-inspring."
"Psychoses never seemed so seductive..."


FROM TIME OUT NEW YORK

"Performed at euphoric pitch...Randall maintains his ecstatic tension..."
"...Briceno's lights, like flashes of lightning..."
