The Wind Cries Mary presented by A-Squared Theatre Workshop at City Lit Theater

Chicago Reader - Not Recommended

"...Gotanda's work seems an unintentional caricature of Ibsen--gloomy, dense, dull, and punctuated by moments of baffling fury. Ghuon Max Chung's murky, muffled production for A-Squared Theatre Workshop exacerbates the diffuseness of the script. Failing to build a cohesive ensemble or recreate Ibsen's claustrophobic atmosphere, the cast contribute inoffensive but flat performances, robbing Hedda of her most compelling feature: her flawed, multifaceted humanity."

Centerstage - Somewhat Recommended

"...A-Squared Theatre Workshop's production of Philip Kan Gotanda's "The Wind Cries Mary" takes the plot structure of Ibsen's proto-feminist classic, "Hedda Gabbler," and transposes the action to 1968 San Francisco, where Eiko, a second-generation Japanese-American woman, struggles with issues of race and gender against the backdrop of collegiate radicalism. The results are, for the most part, less interesting than the above would indicate, though there is much to like about this production, most notably its cast."
