wyrd Reviews

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...Still, it's an interesting, fabulistic look at the question of power and morality: what good is having the former if it's in service of terrible things, or if you're forbidden from stopping the terrible things? And in that sense, it's a suitable tale both for Halloween and our current horrific timeline."

"...This is a one act (105 minutes) story about three sisters. They are in fact witches, so of course they have powers that are special. Directed by Sonya Robinson on a set designed by Elly Burke ( who also did the costumes), the "studio" has no curtain, so we are able to see everything. This is an apartment where all of the action takes place that is half kitchen, with a very special refrigerator, and a living room. I believe there are bedrooms as well, but we never see them."

Third Coast Review - Recommended

"...Three ageless witchy sisters live together in a basement apartment in Bushwick, a Brooklyn neighborhood something like Edgewater or Andersonville. Wyrd is a 2018 play written by Matt Minnicino that gives you an off-kilter view of witchery skills over the millennia in an often poetic, often playful, sometimes chilling way. Sonya Robinson directs Wyrd, set in a city that is an oven, with 98-degree days and no AC. (As one character says, It's hot enough to char brisket on the sidewalk. When you walk by people, you can smell literally years into their pasts.)"
