"Directed with powerful precision by award-winning director Nadia Tass at Theatre Works, this Australian premiere explores that question through a masterclass in contrasts: tenderness beside brutality, beauty beside destruction, hope beside despair, laughter alongside grief"
"Poetic and deeply humane, Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity is one of the year's essential theatre experiences"
- It’s on the House ★★★★★
"A gripping drama that moves inexorably into the surreal, driven by the desperation of its three characters"
"Masterpieces is a compelling, engrossing production, a huge credit to all involved, including producer Dianne Toulson, in one of her last productions as Artistic Director at Theatre Works"
"Some images remain in memory, days after the play"
"Laila Thaker is superb, bringing a different kind of force to the character, Nadia. Her guise as nurse is playful, reverent, pragmatic and capable of sudden ferocity"
"A remarkable piece of theatre"
"Kate Cole’s Soldier is callous and severe… The brilliance of Cole’s performance is how over time in her scenes with the Restorer she is able to find the smallest piece of humanity again"
"Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity juggles hope and despair over its compelling runtime. Despite its future setting, the comparisons with today are unmistakable. As you leave, you’re reminded of what the author Omar El Akked said: “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This”
Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity plays until this Saturday 1 August at Theatre Works.
