Border Crisis Reviews
Stage Scene LA- Somewhat Recommended
"...Considering how much of what's coming out of Washington DC these days seems like theâtre de l'absurde, the time could hardly be riper for City Garage to debut Charles A. Duncombe's absurdist comedy Border Crisis, though in the case of this contemporary adaptation of a 1967 Polish play, excellent intentions yield less than successful results."
Night Tinted Glasses- Recommended
"...Border Crisis is, as stated on the poster, an absurdist comedy by Charles A. Duncombe based on The House on the Border by Polish writer Stawomir Mrozek. As per usual it remains very topical, especially portraying an increasingly authoritarian situation which overwhelms a seemingly very ordinary family, literally turning their home into a multizone militarized area, with armed guards demanding paperwork for leaving or entering pretty much any room, or part of a room."
Stage Raw- Somewhat Recommended
"...Border Crisis is a new play by Charles A. Duncombe, based on Polish playwright Sławomir Mrożek's 1967 The House on the Border. Mrożek's work was recently translated into English by Pavel Rybak-Rudzki, and as the program notes tell us, the story has been "considerably altered to fit our circumstances here today in this country.""
