Berkeleyside: Making “the aves”


REVIEWS

“Berkeley Rep’s the aves devastates in the best of ways.”
Lily Janiak, San Francisco Chronicle

“Knud’s direction of the actors has to allow space for mystery and tension among relatable, recognizable people to exist alongside humor, desperation and some fairly palpable sadness… A stunningly designed, uniquely theatrical experience that commands — and rewards — attention.”
Chad Jones, Bay Area News Group
