The Ridiculous Darkness
"But for us, this wilderness, this nature, this darkness, for us this was all real, in the most horrific way.”
“In the beginning, everything was dark and nothing was there and God spoke: This darkness and this nothing are not enough. And God created a giant machine gun, and he created a pickup truck, and he created a limited-liability company that made tracer ammunition and he mounted the machine gun in the back of the pickup truck and shot the tracer ammunition like a madman into the darkness and that's how the sky was made."

“Brilliantly performed... Martin’s ultimate mission as a theater-maker is clear: create work that is provocative, impassioned and absolutely necessary."
Ben Kaye, New City
"Highly recommended! A feat of epic theatre...Casts of yesteryear pale in comparison to this powerhouse team of raucous, glorious, and formidable women. Assembled before our eyes is a crown, with each actor being a brilliant jewel coming together to form a mesmerizing wall of strength."
Sophie Vitello, Chicago Theatre Review
"Stunning... incredible performances of emotional complexity and honesty that demand and sustain our attention. To experience this feeding and supporting of charged energies makes for a hopeful exchange, and that light can be found in one another when darkness consumes all around us."
Mariah Schultz, Chicago Theatre Triathlon
