My Mama and the Full-Scale Invasion Reviews

Washington Post- Recommended

"...As you may intuit, “My Mama & the Full-Scale Invasion” takes liberties with Aristotelian values, as Denisova reflects on life with her charismatic mother, an engineer, often from the safety of the Daughter’s exile in Poland. Some ingenious fantasy interludes involve Mama’s FaceTime confabs with the likes of Zelensky, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, which are made to seem like two-way conversations by projections whiz Kelly Colburn. They’re not so much expressions of Mama’s delusions as of the desperation anyone would feel in dire circumstances for a direct pipeline to the powerful."

DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended

"...Woolly Mammoth can be proud of its production of My Mama and the Full-Scale Invasion (now playing through October 8). And Washington, DC, theatergoers can be grateful. In its brisk 90-minute running time, Mama and the Full-Scale Invasion is audacious, hilarious, flamboyant, extravagant, and devastating. And if it is not transcendent, the play is on the road to transcendence."

MD Theatre Guide- Highly Recommended

"...Woolly Mammoth is not afraid to traverse some controversial and avant-garde theatrical territory. This play is certainly no exception. As I said in the beginning, “My Mama and the Full-Scale Invasion” really does defy any sort of definitive description. You’ll just have to go and see it for yourself. I highly recommend that you do."
