"...an intimately composed look at a mind unraveled."
⏤ Robert Battey, The Washington Post
"Director Preisser brought out the subtleties among the characters. His projections highlighted P’s visual agnosia with marvelous effect. To be sure, Oliver Sacks’ examination of the wonders of neurology are the intellectual design of this opera. But, at its heart, is the human drama of those discoveries."
⏤ Robert Michael Oliver, DC Metro Theater Arts
"...clever and visually engaging."
⏤ Elle Marie Sullivan, MD Theatre Guide
