The Discreet Charm of Monsieur Jourdain | |
| Boston Theatre Reviews, September 2008 Monica Prendergast, Phd "I thoroughly enjoyed this 100 minute show, bursting with youthful talent and energy and reminding me yet again why Moliere is up there with Shakespeare as one of the greats of all time. This production, directed by Dmitry Troyanovsky...is set in swinging Paris of the 1960's and is spiced up with dance routines to French pop music and lots of exuberant physicality... The production features strong performances from the whole company, who seem to be having a pretty good time with it all and has achieved an enviable ensemble feel...The final moments of the play...are very moving. [Jourdain] looks the audience in the eyes as if to remind us of our complicity in witnessing his buffoonery, and then seems to forgive us, as well as himself." Moskovsky Komsomolets, May 2008 Vera Kopylova "[Dmitry Troyanovsky] updated Moliere without distorting the master...[he] dusted off the musty classic with ease and grace, truly with a 'discreet charm'...Every actor in the production is given a memorable, unique character trait; no matter how brief an appearance on stage, the audience won't soon forget it...The style is precise and elegant-- all according to the rules of classical XVII century comedy that this show embodies perfectly today." TV Kultura, May 2008 "Moliere described his play as a comic ballet. In [Troyanovsky's] interpretation it is closer to an energetic musical inspired by the melodies of the 1960s...a genuine Broadway style spectacle...with many of the characters playing instruments and breaking into irrepressible dancing." |

The Bacchae | |
| Sarasota Magazine, June 2007 Kay Kipling Critic's Choice Nomination for Best Production and Best Direction of the year: "Despite its ancient Greek roots, this rendering of the classic tale provided the shock of the new in a mind-bending sort of way...Troyanovsky served up a unique, contemporary vision for this classic of the Greek theater, cleverly packaged and conceived." Sarasota Observer, March 8, 2007 Marty Fugate "Director Dmitry Troyanovsky's take on the play is the work of a true visionary. What he creates on stage is a gusty, fearless work of art...Troyanovsky fearlessly confronts you with that strangeness of the ancient Greek mind. He takes you out of your normal life and plops you down in an alien world of divine terror. He takes you out of your normal self. Which is just what theater should do. At its best." Bradenton Herald, March 7, 2007 Eric Delp "The Bacchae is a visual sensation! Dmitry Troyanovsky does us the service of treating the script as present and alive rather than as some hoary artifact. His production focuses not on the myths of a past society, but on the timeless themes and emotions at the play's heart...This was, without a doubt, one of the most visually arresting plays I've seen...The Bacchae is a work of art." Sarasota Herald Tribune, March 2, 2007 Jay Handelman "The Bacchae makes you think. Imaginative and beautifully stylized...There's nothing ancient about the direction by Dmitry Troyanovsky, who gives the show a contemporary feeling while making the story relevant to our times...[You] find yourself examining your own thoughts and beliefs." Pelican Press. March 7, 2007 Karen Mamone "Stunning! Dmitry Troyanovsky has mounted a haunting production full of primitive potency and mesmerizing imagery...an excellent evening of contemporary theatre." Creative Loafing, March 7, 2007 Mark E. Leib "The Bacchae is a physically beautiful production: Director Dmitry Troyanovsky stages the drama with cold, modernist precision...Troyanovsky's a skillful artist who mixes ancient and modern with real success...I'll remember it for years." Sarasota Magazine, March 2, 2007 Kay Kipling "This is not your college classics professor's Bacchae...It works to make us ask questions about the relevance of this particular myth for us today. The director and his talented cast hold our attention throughout the play, sometimes amusing us and sometimes appalling us...Success!" |
