Here is our first review of Poor People, part of The New York International Fringe Festival 2015.
Poor People, Theater is Easy, by Emily Cordes, August 18, 2015
Quotes:
“Poor People thus asks us to examine how our environments shape our decisions, and to question a society which condemns its poor and forces them to choose survival over humanity.”
“BOTTOM LINE: An empathetic portrait of love and desperation.”
“With clear-eyed compassion and unflinching emotional truth, this adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel Poor Folk captures the platonic love between two working-class characters in nineteenth-century Russia, following their efforts to survive in a cruel and indifferent world.”
