PRESS:

"BLACK RIDER is a rare stage experience. To see it for the music alone would be reason enough, or the acting, for that matter, or simply for the sheer extravagance and theatricality of the production." – BERKELEYSIDE.COM

"Shotgun’s daring BLACK RIDER aims for, and pierces, the American heart... Disaster is the governing spirit for Burroughs, Tom Waits, and Robert Wilson in their neo-Brechtian musical, which gets an acid-soaked reworking under Mark Jackson’s inspired direction... To see the cast lined up on the stage is to see America: every race, an array of ages, small and tall, the bald and the hirsute. There’s a joyous democratic spirit present... The production is truly post-traumatic, a show fueled by the shock and desperation of knowing that you have shot a gun, that you have enjoyed hearing the crack of the bullet, and that when the smoke has cleared, you have murdered someone you loved. It’s quite a message for a show and production of such stunning grace and pleasure." – KQED.ORG

"Imaginative writing, top caliber performances, and rhythmic storytelling guarantee an intriguing evening. Exquisite grotesque characters inhabit a hilarious, sinister world... BLACK RIDER probes addiction, patriarchy, and violence. The superb cast challenges our human willingness to sacrifice goodness to satisfy desire. Above all, the evocative, unsettling BLACK RIDER offers great art for theater lovers." – THEATRIUS.COM
