"intellectually exhilarating" - Caroline Palmer, Star Tribune
"a train wreck or a stroke of genius" - Lightsey Darst, mnartists.org
"a real achievement for Catterton and his gargantuan dual cast"
-Jay Gabler, TC Daily Planet
Lamb Lays with Lion’s staging of Chekhov's "The Seagull," is inspired by the British auteur-director, Katie Mitchell. The production has two casts who cohabit the stage and simultaneously perform the same text. Both casts have created an entirely unique production of director Jeremey Catterton’s treatment of Chekov’s play; using methods Ms. Mitchell herself employed in her famous London production. The company is very honored to have her permission to create the piece, which will take the company’s signature Theatre of Disruption to its largest experiment yet.

Praise for
The Black Arts:
Director Jeremey Catterton has maintained a sharp heightened style in both the acting and the visual presentation. The effect in demonically ritualistic. He has also co-created a thunderously menacing electronic sound design with Dominique Davis. Falk and Jake Lindgren's lurid costume concept is confrontational and sensual. Ben Seidman is credited as 'Magic Consultant' with intimidating props designed by Smith and Carl Atiya Swanson. Imagine the goth subculture saluting Grand Guignol at an S & M club.
