“Countess Bathory is a brilliantly written and beautifully performed piece. Given the gruesome background of the story, it may seem reasonable to walk in expecting to see something that could cleanly fall within the realm of horror – but that is not the case. The characters are crisply different from each other, providing a fascinating menagerie to behold, and yet somehow simultaneously blurred at the edges so that the audience finds themselves able to connect with the most vile and the most innocent of the cast. The more morbid aspects of the tale are balanced by profound soliloquies, gorgeous stage pictures, and incredible design. It’s everything one could hope for in a new Elizabethan tragedy – poetry, villainy, and ardent passion blended into a gorgeous madness peppered with some good, ol’ fashioned dick jokes.” – Micah Streubel
