Odessa presented by The Right Brain Project at Otherworld Theatre

Chicago Reader - Not Recommended

"...I came to suspect that the real reason these two are lost is not the darkness, or the political situation in either the Ukraine or the U.S., but because Heidemann has failed to fashion any exit or path out for them. Colin David directed."

Chicago On Stage - Somewhat Recommended

"...Odessa doesn’t work all the time. There is that repetitive movement problem that suggests the play might have been better ten minutes or so shorter. But these fine young actors are determined to make it work as much as they can control, and all of the design elements in this low-budget production work well. I commend RBP for trying such a risky production—the whole thing might have failed for any number of reasons—and bringing it off. It’s an inventive production with some excellent performances, and if I can’t whole-heartedly recommend it I can point out that the tiny audience I was with appeared to have a good time, and ultimately that’s what the show is for."
