“Powerful.” —The New York Times.
“[THE JOURNALS OF MIHAIL SEBASTIAN] allows us to glimpse the idiosyncratic effects of that awful history on one intelligent, pragmatic, recognizably real man…David Auburn endows the piece with the carefully modulated accessibility that he gave to
Proof, for which he won both a Tony Award and a Pulitzer Prize in 2001.” —Newsday (NY).
“Suspenseful.” —New York Magazine.
“A sinister tale, one well worth telling.” —New York Sun.
“A stop motion series of snapshots…A freshness that rejuvenates history’s bitter truths.” —Village Voice.
“…compelling. Keen Company’s well-crafted world premiere offers powerful passages and a distinctive perspective on the Holocaust.” —The Star-Ledger (NJ).
“Auburn has chosen an eloquent subject for this solo work…Watching the twilight of his denial obliterated by the harsh dawn of worldwide war is most chillingly relevant right now.” —NYTheatre.
“Auburn has created a script that is as much a portrait of a whole society as the man who finds himself increasingly alone and horrified by the evidences of that society’s 'bestiality'…” —CurtainUp.
