Nosferatu presented by Silent Theatre Company at Prop Theatre

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...Nick Leininger plays him with an undisguised hunger, suggesting emotional neediness as well as lust. The rest of Brendan Balfe's black-and-white, no-talking production is stylish and faithful to the original, both in plot and look; as in the movie, much of the spookiness derives from the stark, shadowy atmosphere (John Urban's piano accompaniment is also invaluable when it comes to setting a mood). But the show sags whenever Leininger isn't on stage to scare it back to life."

Chicago Theatre Review - Recommended

"...What a perfect way to get into the spirit of Halloween, as well as to appreciate how completely and economically a story can be told and a mood created without words. Brendan Balfe’s stylish, emotionally potent production, which is both unique and exciting, is just waiting to chill audiences within the silence of a scream and the shadows of the night."
