Critic Charles Kruger of Theatrestorm gives This Wide Night 5 stars, his highest rating. He says the Anton’s Well production is “nothing short of extraordinary.” He goes on to say that:
“For nearly two hours, time seems to stop as we are carried through a full range of emotions.
By the end of the evening, the catharsis achieved is remarkable. The experience was an emotional marathon.
Rarely does empathy receive a workout like this!…
This is the sort of theatre that needs to be experienced and can barely be described.
But if you care about good theatre, good writing, and good acting, you really ought to attend.”
