Vanessa Francesca, ArtsHub ★★★★½
“The show draws you in with its immersive evocation of a red tent … that becomes a byword for feminist empowerment. Songs interspersed with jokes create a cabaret-like sensibility that delights.”
“Yiddish Divas: Into the Red Tent welcomes you in and reminds you to stay in the sepia-tinged space between old world and new, and to consider the cultural riches to be shared in intercultural spaces.”
Elissa Goldstein, The Age ★★★½
“… a vibrant, warm ensemble performance that centres women’s storytelling, experiences and art in Yiddish (with English surtitles).”
“Deidre Rubenstein, who excelled as Roberta in MTC’s Admissions, brings gravitas and humour to Neyn, Keyn Kharotez Nito (Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien), while Joshua Reuben – the sole male performer – infuses Shayn vi di levone (As beautiful as the moon), an ode to feminine charms, with longing and bewilderment.”
