Praise
for The Dog Problem:
"hilarious...
explosive laughter... astonishing... first-rate actors"
- Martha Heimberg, Turtle Creek News
"stellar
acting, inspired set design, and on-target direction... Ribald,
snappy, and often laugh-out-loud funny... Spectacular... Undermain
Theatre is Dallas’s reigning 'Best Theater,' as awarded
by this very magazine, and with The Dog Problem it’s
not hard to see why"
- Lindsey Wilson, D Magazine
"
It's astonishing. This is cutting-edge, remarkable theatre.
As
with other brilliant playwrights, Rabe has created a play
that feels intuitive and effortless. It functions on several
levels, considering the nature of love, mystery, guilt, mortality,
gender, attachment and loyalty. On a par with their usual
level of excellence,Undermain has assembled a cast (guided
by the direction of Katharine Owens) that is scintillating,
subtle and keen as a scalpel. They take pleasure and authenticity
to new levels and snap like a bullwhip. The Dog Problem is
very funny, very strange, and very, very, sad. It's astonishing.
This is cutting-edge, remarkable theatre."
- Christopher Soden, Pegasus News
"exemplary
cast... Undermain’s exemplary cast (plus silent dog)
handles Rabe’s earthy, metaphor-packed repartee with
whimsical bite.
Rabe’s
play invites in the universe, explores moral dilemmas. Seedy
Mafioso types squabble with archetypal wonder that soars as
deep as any Greek tragedy’s. John Arnone, Bruce DuBose,
Giva Taylor, and Steve Woods weave their customary enchantment
of set, sound, costume and lighting magic."
- Alexandra Bonifield, Arts and Culture Magazine
"Undermain's
gorgeous production, directed by Katherine Owens, turns the
fun up to 11... gorgeous production... perfectly regal"
Mark Lowry - Theater Jones
"there is no reason
to miss out on Dallas' finest avant-garde.
heartbreaking and hilarious"
Lauren Smart - SMU Daily Campus
