Aristotle/Alexander Reviews
Stage and Cinema- Recommended
"...When you have endless arts options to choose from every day, you eventually develop simple, blunt, sometimes arbitrary, rules to help decide what to see. One of mine: avoid titles with weird punctuation. Had I stuck to that rule, I would have missed Alex Lyras's absorbing new play, Aristotle/Alexander, now at Company of Angels through May 4."
Stage Raw- Recommended
"...Composer Andreas Fevos uses ancient instruments - like the avlos, lyra, and saz - to create an immersive musical score. Paula Davis's costumes and Heidi Kapelos's hair and makeup feel accurate to the time period. And the simple set, crafted with detail by Joel Daavid, imagines a classroom filled with artifacts and wonder."
Larchmont Buzz- Recommended
"...I went to Aristotle/Alexander as a fan of Greek plays and history. Perhaps because this play focuses on actual classical individuals, it was less fantastical than I was hoping. Having said that, I still found the writing and direction, the music, the design elements and the performers fascinating."
