Reviews
"Clarke and Caswill have created and
intense, complex experience in the
evocative setting of a church at night."
- Sydney Star Observer
"...interesting and unique in its
structure and design. It neatly
encapsulates the life of Lorca and his
words drip enticingly off the tongues of
the performers."
- theprogram.com
"Incorporating the chorus of washerwomen
from Yerma as a story telling device is a
great idea. In fact, there are several
good ideas here, from the unusual setting
to the casting of three women in the roles of Lorca and his artistic compadres, Luis
Bunuel and Salvador Dali."
- Sydney Morning Herald
"The lighting is gothic eye-candy, as pews
cast crossed shadows down the aisle. The
Spanish guitarist sets the scene and keeps
the pace. The audience is seated in the
altar, looking at rows of empty pews...
One wonders if the church owners saw the
production before they approved it. It's
evilly gratifying to see [all this] in
front of a Catholic altar."
