Reviews

"[Theory] is admirably ambitious as it works through layers of complexity.”

- Karen Fricker, Toronto Star

“Timely in its recognition of alt-right backlash, Theory reminds us of the inevitable pendulum backswing on progressive sociopolitical change.”

- Cate McKim, Life With More Cowbell

“Masterfully tackles power dynamics, privilege, bias, and the tension between freedom of speech and oppression . . . prepare for a heated discussion, because Theory gets an A for stimulating difficult but important conversation.”

- Angela Haupt, DCIST

“A frequently dizzying and extremely entertaining interrogation of the ways in which academia can become a hotbed for practical and theoretical implosion . . . it is a densely written, challenging piece of theatre.”

- Bateman Reviews
