Divorcees, Evangelists and Vegetarians at GALA Hispanic Theatre

Washington Post - Recommended

"...With a few expressionist touches (a pink statue in a park; an ogreish green face painted on the subway wall), scenic designer Daniel Pinha infuses the tale’s city settings with wit and strangeness. It’s a world that’s roomy enough for eccentricity and escapades but that’s also odd and lonely enough to make companionship essential."

Washington Examiner - Highly Recommended

"... In "Divorciadas, Evangelicas y Vegetarianas," ("Divorcees, Evangelists & Vegetarians") at GALA Hispanic Theatre, Venezuelan playwright Gustavo Ott's comedy is fast, furious and unpredictable. It flirts with the nonsensical, then scurries back to the comfort of comprehensibility, all in the blink of an eye."

MetroWeekly - Recommended

"...Divorcees originally appeared onstage in Ott's native Venezuela a year after the 1988 Spanish film Women On The Verge of A Nervous Breakdown. You can't help but notice similarities between the two plays -- and anyone who loved Pedro Almodóvar's black comedy will be amused here as well. But Ott's play isn't quite as loopy, and its feminist undertones are more gratifying."

ShowBizRadio - Somewhat Recommended

"...All three of director Abel López’s actresses hit a fast, agitated pace early on and keep it up right through to the end — almost. When the explosive Esteban is off-stage hunting down her married lover for a few minutes, her satellites are suddenly underpowered."
