“You know some scholars…they say women are imperfect men, aspiring towards perfection as man aspires to sainthood. Women may rise… but we cannot move backwards. It is not the way of things.”
BOY MY GREATNESS
March 2024
Firebird Players at the Hudson Guild Theater
“Boy My Greatness is a masterpiece of intricately woven stories and ruminations on gender, packaged in the likes of six powerful, sympathetic characters in whose world I could happily have spent several more hours. I can’t recommend enough catching this show before the end of its short run.”
“Sweeping audiences through an engrossing and affecting fusion of tragedy and comedy that never flags throughout its Shakespearean runtime… Boy My Greatness is filled with the well-tuned voices of beauty and sadness, regret and love…”
“Pageantry, entrancing stage pictures, furious fight scenes and enchanting dance sequences…are gloriously on display in playwright Zoe Senese-Grossberg’s absorbing self-directed highly theatrical fantasia…Senese-Grossberg’s precise Stanley Kubrick Barry Lyndon-style picturesque staging emphasizes spectacle while conveying emotion.”
