Reviews: Philip Brandes, Santa Barbara News-Press
"...Lit Moon’s acting skills... are as impressive as their innovations, which include the use of microphones, film projection, strategic outbursts of graffiti-writing and accompaniment by an onstage multi-instrumentalist. The company’s style, melding the rigours of physical theatre with classic text, makes them pioneers, if not unique."
