"... It's a one-act show (which runs an hour and 45 minutes) that is oddly emotional by the end. The cumulative sadness sneaks up on you, and it lingers. It's hard to shake and even harder to pinpoint just why it's so heavy. That's a good thing. So many shows, even when they're enjoyable, are entirely forgettable a day or two later. The mournfulness of "The Secret In Their Wings" will haunt you."

"...Life is no fairytale for the dozens of fairytale characters who people Mary Zimmerman's dark and dazzling The Secret In The Wings, the latest from L.A.'s "Pay What You Want" Coeurage Theatre Company and as spellbinding a theatrical experience as I've had since Coeurage's equally stunning Failure: A Love Story."

"...The ensemble work is masterful: The cast wrings pathos and humor from situations which, on the page, sometimes make no sense at all. Particular standouts include Katch, compelling as a toweringly cruel princess who won't laugh; and theater veteran Russom as the tender-hearted ogre who may himself be under some kind of transformation. James Tumminia, as a husband willing to go to death and beyond for his faithless wife, is also marvelous, as is Eduardo Fernandez-Baumann as a creepy king who would wed his own daughter."

"...Now the incredibly imaginative Mary Zimmerman of Chicago's Lookingglass Theatre Company, Tony Award winner in 2002 for directing her celebrated adaptation of Ovid's Metamorphoses performed in and around a stage-sized pool of water, has now reworked some of the fables left behind by Anderson and the Brothers Grimm, among others. She has inventively taken some of history's darkest, most terrifying, and most obscure fairy tales-though I'll bet any saturated and perhaps once fabulistically-abused Danish grown-ups might remember a couple of them-and has spun them all together into The Secret in the Wings with her signature imagination and wit."
