FROM THE PRESS:
"...a great ART..." (The Herald )
" Visionary director's masterpiece."(The Chronicle)
“Highly recommended." (What's On)
a true little gem indeed...Unmissable!"(Festival Guide)
"Why can't US theatres make shows like F*****g Asylum Seekers?"(New York Times)
“The essence of Jean-Paul Sartre’s existentialism is captured well in this new production by API. In Victor Sobchak’s skilful hands, the philosophical discourse about the meaning of life and alienation, that underlies Sartre’s work, gains an unpredicted force.”
(Festival Guide)
"Sartre's infernal entertaiment has brought out the best in Act Provocateur Int." (The Stage)
'absorbingly unavoidable performance‘ –
Three Weeks (Edinburgh Festival)
Since 2002 API is a resident company at the 'LION & UNICORN THEATRE'
