“Sawyer Estes has created an atmosphere of class divides, social anxiety and madness as uncomfortable as Marat/Sade… It’s a hell of a way to remind returning patrons of all that theater can do.”
“Theater is a pragmatic way—perhaps the only way—to bring these urges into concert with our everyday lives. A paraphrase of Aristotle: through fear and pity tragedy accomplishes a catharsis of our emotions. This happens to me every time I go to a see a Vernal & Sere production. It is why I keep coming back.”
-Gregory Emilio, Regarding Angels
