“Ο Aζάς διάνθισε τον μονόλογο με μουσικότητα, κίνηση και εικαστική μαγεία. […]
Η σουρεαλιστική σκηνογραφία της Μαγιού Τρικεριώτη είναι απόλυτα εναρμονισμένη με τη σκηνοθετική γραμμή. Σκηνικά αντικείμενα (καρέκλες, τηλέφωνο, διάφορα έπιπλα) κρέμονται ανάποδα στο ταβάνι και δημιουργούν μία σκηνική ατμόσφαιρα που θυμίζει αίθουσα κονσέρτου για πιάνο ή και βιολί σε παλαιό εργοστάσιο επίπλων στο Βερολίνο, όπου άπειρες αντίκες αιωρούνται πάνω από τα κεφάλια των μαγεμένων θεατών.”
“Anestis Azas embellished this monologue with musicality, movement and visual magic. […]
Mayou Trikerioti’s surreal scenography is in perfectly in harmony with the direction. Objects (chairs, a telephone, furniture) hang from the ceiling and create an atmosphere reminiscent of a piano or violin concert hall in an abandoned furniture factory in Berlin, where infinite antiques float above the heads of the enchanted spectators.”
Allegiance: end of a chapter /
Emotional day as the run of Allegiance - A New Musical comes to end.
A feeling of “can we please go back and do it all again please?”
It was an absolute joy to spend Christmas and start 2023 with this glorious family of tremendous talent, with legendary George Takei and Tara Overfield Wilkinson on the helm (Tara, you are the best captain ever!), the insanely caring Joey Monda. Lorenzo Thione and Jay Kuo thank you for putting your passion in this for so many years. Thank you loving anchors on Londontown soil Suzanna Rosenthal and Charlotte Lund.
The list of on stage (Telly Leung -please come back again! Rachel Jayne Picar Eu Jin Hwang Masashi Micah Fujimoto Patrick Clive Munday Iverson Yabut Aynrand 'ab' Ferrer, Raiko Gohara, Joy Tan, Misa KoideHana Ichijo Megan Gardiner Iroy Abesamis Mark Anderson) backstage (Amy Boultwood Kirsty Malpass Matt Overfield Ricky McFadden David Palmer You-Ri Yamanaka) and musical mega talent (Andrew Hilton, Charlie Ingles Beth Jerem to name only a few of the magicians). Nick Farman, you set my work on fire, pun intended, I am thankful! Forgive me if I fail to tag or mention you all. You are and always be one of the most special amd loved companies I have ever worked with.
Now, please, can we do it all over again?

Sundance rocking with Drift! /
"Films about trauma are a dime-a-dozen in popular media, though their concern is often reckoning with these traumas in digestible ways in order to leave them behind. “Drift,” on the other hand, sits uncomfortably with the past, allowing its effects to linger in ways that may not be so easy to fight off.
[...]
Erivo’s full-bodied commitment to the role, capturing how even the worst experiences can become a part of you, results in a performance so powerful that it’s occasionally too difficult to watch. And yet, Chen’s deft eye for the ebb and flow of recognizable human drama prevents you from ever looking away."
premiered at Sundance Film Festival!
