Short Eyes Reviews
Los Angeles Times- Recommended
"...Profane, funny, and packed with more crotch-grabbing than vintage Madonna, the current revival of Miguel Piñero's prison drama "Short Eyes" at the Los Angeles Theatre Center burns with vivid life."
Backstage- Recommended
"...The daring production is infused with bravura performances and a crackling atmosphere, punctuated by ironic humor and suspense."
LAist- Recommended
"...Co-produced by the Latino Theater Company and Urban Theatre Movement, this exciting production is dark, exhilarating, and utterly glorious. Pinero flaunts violence and poetry while navigating delicate moral, ethical, and social dilemmas contextualized by power dynamics and incarceration culture. The performances and direction for this production of Short Eyes are superior, driven, and lively."
Socal- Recommended
"...Although the nature of the subject matter in the play is heavy, there was also lightness found within the inmate's interpersonal relationships through their senses of humor, and how they played off of one another with sarcasm and wit. I personally enjoyed a good deal of laughter during the show. Each character had it's own unique personality, that managed to bring humor and lightness within an incredibly tough environment."
