"The production values are high. Some beautiful shadow play accompanies a simple set. The costumes are high calibre [...] The show’s soundscape, coupled with the noise of rats, police sirens, and crickets in this outdoor venue permeates nicely through the space.
The performances are universally strong, as is the direction. Coming from a city where site-specific theatre is all the rage, there is hope that M: The Berlin Murders is the beginning of a revolution in Halifax for more.”
