REVIEWS/ARTICLES
"Glenn Proud's production for LiveWire Chicago Theatre is straightforward too, neither rigidly classical nor self-consciously modern, placing the story in a thoughtful approximate antiquity with Erin Fast's simple costumes and Anders Jacobson's vaguely Attic set."
-- Brian Nemtusak, Chicago Reader

"LiveWire has assembled a largely good cast filled with plenty of standout performances. Danielle O'Farrell navigates the initial innocence and later outrage of Philomele masterfully, especially when played against her worldly wise nurse, Niobe ( Justine Serino in a wonderfully rueful and underplayed performance)." -- Scott C. Morgan, Windy City Times

"It takes an equally chameleonic set of actors to execute this ambitious work’s differing, sometimes opposing styles, at once meta and mundane."
-- Novid Parsi, Time Out Chicago Review

"Erin Barlow (as the older sister Procne) manages to balance the two tonal shifts effectively throughout and gives a fully realized, nuanced performance from minute one - Barlow was simply excellent." -- Don Hall, An Angry White Guy in Chicago
