Show Information


Open Eye Figure Theatre

Star Tribune- Somewhat Recommended

"...Admittedly, at just about an hour, “Strumply Peter” can’t reveal much depth — and fairy tales by nature cloak dimension in slim portraits. Yet, the problem here is that “Strumply” is not sharply drawn. Sommers and Evans seem unwilling to commit to a strong sense of mission for the character. Is he mischievously punishing or sympathetically coddling these children? It’s a little of both, which in itself might be interesting, but the script doesn’t make a convincing case. The play can stall out in static narration on occasion — moments that falter because Strumply doesn’t have a lot to say."

Twin Cities Daily Planet- Highly Recommended

"...Now that I’ve had a taste of what Open Eye serves up on a regular basis, I’m very much looking forward to seeing more. Meanwhile, you should see Strumply Peter—and bring kids if you’ve got ‘em. It’s a lot of fun for anyone with an appreciation for a twisted sense of humor."
