ANNE SIEGEL SAYS GO SEE TOTALITARIANS!

  • “The play is simultaneously horrific and hilarious…four characters perform a beautifully timed dance under the able direction of company founder and artistic director Jaimelyn Gray.

  • The actors are adept at keeping the play’s over-the-top antics as “real” as possible. Their ability to deliver punch lines with a straight face is impressive.

  • The Totalitarians offers people a chance to laugh at a time when the relentless wave of political attack TV ads becomes overwhelming (and disgusting?). From start to finish, it’s a politically-themed joy ride that intrepid theatergoers will want to make.” (**SPOILER ALERT** Full Review)

  • “Director Jaimelyn Gray conjures a cleverly unbalanced comic energy to the stage for a very contemporary story of the frazzled political dynamics lurking deep in the ragged heart of the U.S.

  • Matthew Scales deftly wields a cleverly understated comic precision in the role of Francine’s husband.

  • Ekene Ikegwuani is a powerful presence onstage as a man of grand delusions . . .

  • Husband, wife and their accompanying psychotics are brought to a satisfying, darkly comic collision in a thoroughly satisfying comedy.” (Full Review)

  • “Check out the dystopian political world of "The Totalitarians" in Milwaukee! (The Constructivists have done it again. . .) Amazing work.

  • . . . it is a visceral, compelling reminder of the danger – and power – inherent in manipulating the masses by simply validating their rage.” (Full Review)
