"Rodriguez-Elliott embraces the random nature of the piece in this blissfully eclectic production, which includes an impressively acrobatic ensemble, Ken Merckx's amazing fight choreography, Jeanine A. Ringer's versatile set, Ken Booth's subtle lighting, and, most especially, Angela Balogh Calin's sumptuous costumes, a career highlight for this designer. Robert Oriol's original music and sound design are also a highlight." - LA Times, September 2013"Angela Balogh Calin’s costumes help to establish each distinct “land.” Music composed by Robert Oriol, both instrumental and vocal, is seamlessly interwoven into the narrative. There is something for everyone in this show: shipwrecks, sword fights, dances, haunting melodies, romance, loves lost and found, joyful reunions, spectacle and a healthy sprinkling of humor." - Examiner.com, September 2013
"Robert Oriol’s music practically makes Pericles a musical with its musical interludes with dance and pantomime, and sung songs throughout the piece; all of it pleasing and still specific to fit the region and peoples who are singing; Tarsus has a brooding, Japanese vibe that involves heavy taiko drumming while Pentapolis has a more traditional American jaunty, hearty feel—it’s this sort of specificity and attention to detail is effective and allows the story to be understood and enjoyed on a more profound level.
