We do not deserve Jeffrey Nolan.
Another phenomenal show from Jackdonkey Productions, this time starring two of the great talents of the Twin Cities, Jeffrey Nolan and Hawken Paul. Nolan's adaptation of the classic Russian novel feels so relevant in this age of censorship and corporatized-"Big Everything." If you like Animal Farm, 1984, Brave New World, etc. you will love this. The script clips along at a great pace, while leaving space for tender moments, wonderfully aided by music and elements of shadow play. This is a wonderful showcase of Nolan's talents as both a writer and actor. He effortlessly bounces between a variety of characters and does justice to all of them. Hawken Paul's music is a great addition, adding so much dimension to the show. The audience participation, musical accompaniment, and use of projection were all so inventive and fun, and kept the audience engaged the entire time. GO SEE THIS SHOW!
