CHRISTOPHER MARINO
DIRECTOR
"This Malfi is everywhere and nowhere — a nightmare alternate reality that exists when self-interest and short-term gain (whether fiscal or physical) destroys our better
angels. It's also surprisingly funny — that is, if an obscene dumb show performed by "madmen" is your idea of funny. (Trust me, it works — even if it's also disturbing as hell.)" -Chicago Tribune
"The whole event almost has a Masonic feel: We have agreed to gather to participate in the ritual performance, at a prearranged location. When it is over, this fiendish moment will have transformed us and those who have brought it to life."
-Encore Magazine
"It’s pretty wonderful to watch Marino play with a fully loaded palate of theatre magic. He has proven he can create visually simple and striking shows which concentrate squarely on text. It’s fun to see him play with spectacle on a grand scale." -Encore Magazine
"Director Marino has placed seats at either end of the stage, essentially creating a modified thrust or three-quarters arrangement, with the advantage that, no matter where you’re sitting, you can’t help but watch people watch the show -- watch them laugh, or watch, at times, as their mouths drop open in shock."- Star News
