Quirky, Funny, Entertaining, Absorbing, Clever

See it if you want to see a well-written well-acted story about a person trying to recover his birthright.

Don't see it if you would prefer a musical or sharp socioeconomic satire about problems of today. Read more

Intelligent, Intense

See it if you want to see an interesting- if at times confusing- tale, filled with twists and turns.

Don't see it if you don’t like very long plays, though the 3 hours didn’t seem to drag on as the story takes time to develop. Read more

Ambitious, Amateur, So-so

See it if you like historical dramas with a large cast

Don't see it if you like professional performances and plays with a clear message

"Not to worry, theatregoer. This new adaptation by Peter Oswald may start out befuddling, but it ends up bewitching."

Dmitry was indeed a bold choice for this new theatre, but in the main it is one that has paid off. This is a powerfully relevant story that has been spectacularly told.

"It's always a pleasure to welcome a new theatre to the fold...But, topical as it may be, this opening production fails to deliver a suitably celebratory inauguration."

"The production is better taken on its own, knotty terms, as a tale of toxic nationalism."

The Guardian (UK)
October 6th, 2022

"There is certainly something Shakespearean in the panoramic shuttle between factions, and the way scenes of public assertion are slashed by moments of intense private doubt, shared with the audience alone."
