Time Out NY says of Twelve Ophelias:
Svich revives the swamped Ophelia in Appalachia, where her characters indulge in overripe language (“I am become bewildered.”) without seeming out of place. In this backwoods Elsinore, Hamlet (Dan Cozzens) has become a barefoot Rude boy, Gertrude runs a brothel and lustful Ophelia (Pepper Binkley) can’t wait to get to them “country matters.” But can she shuck her fate? Girlfriend, count on it. Svich has a lovely way with old stories—her looping, just-shy-of-purple poetry lets her remake the Greeks and Shakespeare with panache. And thematically, director Teddy Bergen’s choice of the waterless, cracked McCarren Park Pool basin works: We’re in a dry hole thirsty for language.
