Check out today’s New York Times for their take on PL115′s Ring Cycle (through October 30 at The Bushwick Starr).
I’ll give you a hint… it’s awesome:
“This cheeky adaptation, by Dave Dalton, Jeremy Beck and the company, addresses Wagner’s agenda with remarkable sensitivity and insight.
…
The final scene, in which Wotan condemns his beloved daughter, the brassy tomboy Brünnhilde (Sara Buffamanti), transcends cheeky parody to achieve a genuinely haunting potency.”

“A very satisfying mix of pop culture and high art … It’s golden fun – from an ensemble that goes all the way to the mat.”
- Carol Cooper, The Village Voice
“Dipping from two pools of unlikely source material, The Ring Cycle (Part 1 and 2) gets it right, and like a deep fried snickers bar, it is unexpectedly delicious.”
- Julia Furlan, Culturebot
“An ambitious, potentially sacrilegious and extremely rewarding adventure in creative adaptation.”
- Benjamin Sutton, The L Magazine
“Parts 1 and 2 are so brilliantly conceived I’m anxious to see what they’ll do with Siegfried and Twilight of the Gods.”
- Lynn Berg, nytheatre.com
