"The inventive folks at the Stolen Chair Theatre Company explore the [Weimar] era with the existential Kinderspiel; think No Exit decked out in fishnets and Art Deco decay...The overall effect is haunting. Watching these slightly cracked adults play with desperate abandon reminds us that the worst of times may bring out the best in artists, but in the end it's the politicians who get to rule (and ruin) the world"
