The Infinity Play presented by Curious Theatre Branch at The Jarvis Square Theater

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...Incorporating dollhouses, puppets, and recurring PSAs from institutions like ?the New School of Fate,? it?s a messy but heady journey that runs out of steam a little bit before the ending arrives. ?Cleanliness fixes the mistakes of the past,? a character proclaims at one point. But as we see the wholesale erasure of our own country?s history of ?mistakes? like racism and colonization, Brennan?s play feels less like an absurdist philosophical exercise and more like a cunning Alice-through-the-looking-glass take on the nihilistic death cult controlling our nation?s current timeline."

Chicago Stage and Screen - Highly Recommended

"...Curious Theatre Branch's latest offering The Infinity Play by Paul William Brennan is a complex, word heavy, impressionistic meditation on pattern and variation and the messes we make with our thoughts, ruminations and petty jockeying for dominance. There is a great deal of verbal play and fairly thick philosophical riffs in this script, but whether they are drinking themselves under the table or playing a crooked game of checkers, these characters keep doggedly on trying to figure it out."

NewCity Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...Do not be deterred from experiencing this brave work. There is real insight to be learned, like the metaphor of each generation of players having to clean up the mess of the generation that came before?Brilliant! ?The Infinity Play? has no rules yet breaks them anyway, and Brennan and Curious Theatre Branch are like courageous explorers who?ve travelled into the unknown to bring back delicacies like you?ve never seen."
