The Brink! presented by Walkabout Theater Company at Links Hall

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...Directed by Thom Pasculli and devised by the ensemble with Fides Krucker, The Brink makes fierce poetic sense of love, loss, and media. The physicality of the thing is gorgeous and exhilarating, with particularly sharp contributions from Cooper Forsman and McCambridge Dowd-Whipple."

The Fourth Walsh - Highly Recommended

"...And as pleasing as the aesthetic is, THE BRINK! is steered by the music. Several familiar pop and jazz tunes navigate us through through this poetic maze. And the singing is remarkable. When Mazzni owns the microphone, Dowd-Whipple or Murphy provide an a cappella-style chorus. Later, Dowd-Whipple sings with haunting depth. My senses are completely captivated in the experience. This show looks like performance art and sounds like a musical. Walkabout seals it together with a satisfying kiss."

Third Coast Review - Somewhat Recommended

"...The production’s bona fides are impressive—many cultural partners, tours to Dartmouth College, Krakow, Poland, and soon to Mumbai and New Delhi—but the material is philosophically dense. Background articles even include publications on process from academic journals. Ontology onstage is quizzical and indulgent."

The Hawk Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...The Brink! is more akin to modern art than traditional theatre, and it will not be for everyone. However, if anything described above sounds appealing in the least, the show is highly recommended. The surreal cabaret crafted by Walkabout Theater and Links Hall exceeds at creating a distinctly unique experience. "
