  • “Circle Mirror Transformation is the kind of unheralded gem that sends people into the streets babbling and bright-eyed with the desire to spread the word. I know this because I have been accosted by more than one bright-eyed babbler. Although I was traveling just as it opened, friends and colleagues — and in one case, a theater-obsessed maitre d’ — urged me to make my way to the small Peter Jay Sharp Theater, right this minute, to bask in the enchantment. Bask I did recently, and emerged with the same giddy sense of discovery, the same almost proprietary need to ensure that this small, quirky, immensely lovable new play does not go unnoticed by theatergoers in perennial search of fresh voices and boundary-bending experiments.”
