“Sound’s incisive production of Peeling tackles systemic barriers in a keen script, with humor, anger, and grace. It’s a potent follow-up to Citizen: An American Lyric, which the company produced last month (see review here). And like with Citizen, the rare, frank discussion of difference, tokenization, and ability make it worthy viewing for ‘every nonprofit arts administrator and board member in town.’…Everyone will experience something different. That’s all the more reason to see it for yourself – and the experience is apt to be a profound one.” Chase D. Anderson, NWTheatre
“A unique production, both in style and substance… If you have been longing for a different theatrical experience, this is definitely that. The cast is of people not usually included in casting, the play is visually arresting and the ping-ponging between the ‘other play’ they’re performing in and their personal relationships is engrossing.” Miryam Gordon, Miryam’s Theatre Musings

“The work somehow blends Beckett’s sense of the absurd and Ibsen-like stringent calls to action with the grandeur of a Euripides’ Greek tragedy. This off-the-wall mixture produces a dynamic night of theater….it succeeds in landing a number of punches, battling all the world’s forces that get in the way of respecting the dignity and compassion for those who may look and talk differently than most of us. ” Alan Sydney, Drama In the Hood
