Below are some of our favorite excerpts from the New York Critic’s review of our staged reading of Insulted. Belarus(sia). We thank them for their review, and we have provided a link below to read it in full.

“[…] The cast of characters is comprised of actual people and fictitious people. We find Aleksandr Lukashenko and his young son, as well as Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, his losing opponent in the election and – this is well documented – the favorite of the people. In addition, there are fictitious – but no less true – characters on either side of the political divide: two election monitors (one on either candidate’s side); a brutal soldier; two other demonstrators.

The play is well-suited for the medium. Nearly every line is in a monologue; there’s little interaction between the characters. The actors address the camera. The video is in black-and-white, quite suitably.“
