REVIEWS:
Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
“A remarkable… must-see, dramatic achievement adapted by the writer and filmmaker Oren Jacoby…This is a remarkable piece of … theater that deserves to attract national attention and will, for sure, thrill and inspire Ellison’s fans”
Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
Highly Recommended. “An altogether hypnotic adaptation of Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison’s classic novel about race, power, freedom and identity, receives a galvanic, emotionally fevered world premiere.”
Kris Vire, TimeOut Chicago
5 Stars. “This Invisible Man should be seen far and wide.”
Oliver Sava, TimeOut Chicago
Performer of the Week: “In the title role of Court Theatre’s five-star adaptation of Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, Teagle F. Bougere gives an astounding… performance”
Tony Adler, Chicago Reader
“Mesmerizing … I can tell you right now that you won’t see a stronger ensemble this season.”
Mike Fishcher, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“Appearances don’t deceive with this show: It looks good, and it is. It’s worthy of Ellison’s great novel, and like the Invisible Man himself, it deserves to be seen.”
Steven Oxman, Variety
“As the unnamed, first-person narrator who learns to embrace his self-described “invisibility,” actor Teagle F. Bougere possesses an easy eloquence and charisma, with a smile that can portray joy, optimism, puzzlement and anger discretely or simultaneously.”
Brian Hiegglelke, Newcity
“The performance of Teagle F. Bougere as “Invisible Man” is a wonder.”
