Below are some of our favorite excerpts from the Boston Globe’s review of our staged reading of Insulted. Belarus(sia). We thank them for their review, and we have provided a link below to read it in full.
“[…] Over the course of ‘Insulted. Belarus(sia),’ their lives intersect and collide, sometimes tragically, as the nation is convulsed in a fight for freedom. It was a remarkable evening all around, and it constituted another milestone for Arlekin Players Theatre. With theaters shut down nationally due to the pandemic, Arlekin recently drew national attention with a Zoom production of ‘State vs. Natasha Banina.’
Kureichik lavished the cast of ‘Insulted. Belarus(sia)’ with praise, employing the adjective ‘fantastic’ several times. In writing the character of Lukashenko, the playwright said, ‘I tried to understand him as well. I know his psychology. He thought people would love him forever. But it doesn’t work anymore.'”
