The Frozen on the Square (1982) presented by Akvavit Theatre at The Den Theatre

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...The idea seems to be to imagine inner lives for people who would otherwise just be faces in a crowd, but Svensson's penchant for arty quirks makes the characters difficult to decipher. This chirpy staging from Akvavit Theatre benefits from the sense of repressed longing supplied by Bergen Anderson and Andrew Fortman as Susann and David."

Time Out Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...Placed as it is in 1982, tenser moments of the show are lightened with eruptions of Duran Duran and David Bowie. It’s the cast’s ability to play the prismatic, often meta-theatrical script with just the right balance of archness and sincerity that makes Akvavit’s production, brief though it is, intriguing, moving and entertaining all at once. We see both the crowd and the faces within it."
