Congratulations to The Mysteries's Loren Shaw, who has been nominated for her costume designs, and to our director Ed Iskandar, who has won the Sam Norkin Off-Broadway Award "for his visionary directorial excellence. This season's The Golden Dragon and The Mysteries exemplify his bold and strikingly original imagination." (Full listen of nominations and winners here.)
TheaterMania: "The Mysteries is breathtaking in its scope, covering 52 episodes of the Bible, from Lucifer's fall through Judgment Day. The result is an unforgettable theatrical revitalization of these stories, a radical reclamation that can be appreciated by believers and nonbelievers alike. [...] There are too many brilliant moments to mention them all. Iskandar has woven so much visual and aural stimuli into the story that you will never get bored." (Full review here.) Theater in the Now: "When you take on something big, you expect brilliance. Fortunately, this undertaking is brilliant. The Mysteries is a beautifully triumphant event of epic proportions. Even after six hours and a full belly, you won’t want to leave your new friends." (Full review here.) The New York Times: "...there’s much to enjoy in between, like Bess Wohl’s “The Denial of Peter,” which narrates the tale from the perspective of the women, or Bill Cain’s frame-breaking “Resurrection,” which imagines a father-son chat between Joseph (Karsten Otto) and Jesus (Colin Waitt)."
