"'Very
Old Man' Takes Flight; Fantasy Finds Illumination in Outdoor
Amphitheater"
The amphitheater
at the College of Saint Elizabeth is a wondrous place...the
aura created in this space is remarkable. The musicians add
a wonderful Latin beat...Danielle Larracuente as Fefé
sparkles...Robin De Jesús as Momó vividly captures
the boy's enthusiasm ...Gregory Mitchell is compelling as
the Very Old Man. His ballet-like gestures and movements are
haunting and the way he communicates with the children 'through
his eyes' is heartbreaking."
—The
Independent Press
"Robin
De Jesús is excellent!"
raves The Star-Ledger
The Daily Record
urges, "add this play to your list of summer
destinations!"
"If
there is an equal mixture of magic and realism under the stars
these nights, it is because The Shakespeare Theatre of New
Jersey is presenting 'A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings'"
