“The play is riddled with dreamlike moments, brought to life here through the work of movement director Elizabeth Margolius…Margolius’s work is the pulsing, persistent backbeat that drives the production forward. She renders the script’s expressionist flourishes down into substance and strikingly evokes the panic and horror of the protagonist’s inner life.”
