Searing and scalding, a harrowing tale of the von Essenbeck family as they play out their internecine struggles and face their eventual doom. The entire cast was extraordinarily good, especially the family matriarch Baronne Sophie and her son Martin. A play that lingers in the mind long after its end. How fortunate for us New Yorkers that the Armory brings us these wonderful productions.

Phenomenal, Disturbing, Topical. Brilliant Staging & Acting. Ivo von Hove at his best. Encouraging to see that The Armory has the courage to provide such a work in sharp contrast to Broadway's " cultural sedatives".

Forget age, time is a concept. The Damned proved that true with a stellar set to a capacity crowd in the classic Seattle Showbox on a Thursday night. The energy was palable and the band was in firm control as they laid out songs covering 2 decades of work. The 4 core members (and excellent keyboard support) showed this band has no musical weak spots. Classic punk anthems mixed with 80s influenced synthetic created unique energy and moods all tied together by a group absolutely confidence to deliver an amazing show. Dave Vanian's vocals actually seem better now than ever and Capt Sensible squeezed every perfect note and noise from his instrument. I was blown away by Rat Scabies incredible drumming throughout the entire set. Would stand in line for hours to see them tomorrow if I had the option.

Fantastically creative and imaginative staging. The cinematography was the highlight. Terrific use of the incredible space at the Park Avenue Armory. Somewhat of an assault on the senses, presumably intentional given the sordid story and that time in history. Don't bring anyone who is sensitive to loud noise, nudity or strobe lights.
