Theater Reviews Sontag: Reborn
“Director Marianne Weems and The Builders Association have created a theatrical experience of significant measure. Ms. Angelos’ stage performance combined with Austin Switser’s video design, Dan Dobson’s sound design, Laura Mroczkowski’s lighting design, and Joshua Higgason’s scenic design create an emotionally-laden tribute to Susan Sontag and her legacy as one of America’s – indeed the worlds – preeminent literary icons and activists.”

“With distinctive flair, they project scenes from the actual film onto square silk screens, held by actors on both sides. In the middle of the ‘frame’ live actors are recreating the movie scene in real time. It is an effective and clever tool and is delicate trick to pull off, but thanks largely to Laura Mroczkowski’s lighting design and Reid Farrington’s set and video design, the result is theatrical magic.” -michael leeds
