These Are The Men
Southern Theater
Twin Cities Daily Planet- Highly Recommended
"...Jumping around in time also gives the play an opportunity to present a happy ending. Because, spoiler alert for beyond the play, this entire family is screwed. But Jocasta allows herself to revisit what was perhaps the happiest day in her life - her wedding day to Oedipus. From a storytelling standpoint, is that cheating? I honestly couldn't tell you. I've been arguing that one both ways in my head ever since the lights came up after the show was over. In the moment, if you're happy, that still counts, right? No matter what comes after? If you have a loving husband, if you create a family of smart capable children, that's always a net positive. Right? These Are The Men has no easy answers. It almost demands you continue to juggle both sides of every question. It's an intriguing way to reinvigorate a centuries old story."

"...I highly recommend this new play. It is poignant, with a surprising number of lighthearted moments for such a tragic tale. Blake E Bolan and Laura Leffler-McCabe's script brings new depth to an old story, reinvigorating it for a new generation."
