“[The actors’] concentration and conviction, the subtly tightening tensions of demeanor
and movement worked out with director Austin Sheffield, the rhythm, the emptiness of
scene that Albee then furnishes with glowing hot images -- again, the new and youngish
Palindrome company puts in front of us the intensity of stage experience.”
- Austin Live Theatre
“Palindrome makes Albee's old/new play remarkable, insightful, and unsettling…On the
intellectually engrossing scale, I give it a 10 of 10. Again, Palindrome's work on this play
is fabulous. The set (designed by George Marsolek) smartly unifies the two halves of
the play; the three actors give wonderful performances. The satisfaction in watching At
Home at the Zoo comes from the understandings gained from a difficult story.”
- The Austin Chronicle
“The third production for this up and coming company, “At Home at the Zoo” delivers
precisely what Palindrome Theatre promises - an intimate, human, and fallible
performance of a canonical piece of modernist theater. Beyond all else, it shows us our
desperate need to feel connected, to touch and be touched - by a person or, in this case,
by a play.”
- Austin American-Statesman
