The Devilish Children (and the Civilizing Process) at Dream Theatre

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...There's nothing new about the play’s critique of 19th-century-style authoritarian childrearing. But the 50-minute production is unique and compelling nonetheless, thanks to giddily savage performances, inventively staged violence, and delightfully weird touches such as the arrival of Father Christmas to supply a happy ending."

Chicago Stage and Screen - Highly Recommended

"...Dream Theatre was founded by Jeremy and Anna Menekseoglu, Madelaine Schmitt and Amanda Meyer as they were studying at the Moscow Art Theatre in 1998, and they've been producing plays since returning to Chicago. Their mission is to tell original stories which focus on the human condition and which linger with their audience long after the story is told. And they certainly deliver on their promise; the production value was great, the play unique, and the ending really left a lasting impression. The pacing of the story felt balanced, and not once did an actor miss a line."
