“material this good and delivered this well”

“… a stirring defense of poesy and of collaborative artistic productions, which join artist and audience and transform every monologue into a conversation – of the sort that material this good and delivered this well is bound to sustain, long after the lights come down and we walk back out into the night, no longer alone.”

September 28, 2012 / Mike Fischer, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“one of the best things staged all season”

Given that it’s covering birth, death and everything in between, it feels as though Theatre Gigante really is putting everything onstage . . . an entire, self-contained reality onstage for roughly one hour’s time … one of the best things to get staged all season.

May 14, 2012 / Russ Bickerstaff, Shepherd Express

“a powerful, cohesive piece of theater”

… a captivating, entertaining, and sometimes moving tapestry of spoken word, music, video, automatics and dance … the sum of parts is a powerful, cohesive piece of theater.

March 7, 2011 / Elaine Schmidt, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Upcoming Shows

Theatre Gigante is extremely excited to bring TERMINUS, Mark O’Rowe’s international sensation and tour de force of poetry and drama, to the Milwaukee stage.
O’Rowe (Howie the Rookie, Our Few and Evil Days) is one of a steady influx of brilliant young Irish dramatists who are inventing a new brand of modern theater based on heightened poetic language.
TERMINUS is a supernatural fantasy of interlocking monologues sweeping the audience on a helter-skelter ride through the wildest parts of the imagination, our greatest hopes, and our darkest fears. Be warned – it’s not for the faint of heart!
The language is brilliant, a vertiginous concatenation of assonance and rhyme, whose rhythm remains limber enough to let the play – and its audience – breathe…Terminus is a luridly compelling waking nightmare of Dublin as an eighth circle of hell.
The Guardian
It’s uncomfortable and exhilarating, pared-down but full to bursting of linguistic, emotional, and imaginative riches… It’s not just a welcome reminder of what theater can do; it feels like what theater is for.
KQED Arts
Gritty details, grotesque flourishes and internal rhymes pour from Mark O’Rowe’s characters with a velocity to match the ferocity of his narrative in TERMINUS.
