“This
moving character study pits East against West, tradition against
progress, and ambition against conscience, in a drama whose lyrical
dialogue evokes the surprising ambivalence of this wrenching battle.” “It's a relief to see
such economical storytelling - a kind of anti-Homebody/Kabul where
characters say what they mean and action occurs at a lively pace.
Only five actors grace the stage though it seems a dozen do - the
characters are rich and cleanly drawn…The Beauty Inside
joins a string of exceptional pieces performed at the 45 Below
Culture Project space…These are not run-of-the mill productions,
but theater with purpose.” “…what makes the
relationship--and the play--work is that Filloux resists the temptation
to portray the issues in black and white…Filloux also never
forgets the personal cost of trying to change the world; both Yalova
and Devrim take huge risks…and Filloux doesn't try to make
one more valuable or relevant than the other.” |
