Los Angeles Arts Examiner
“Best Ensemble 2013”

a devised theater production based on the novel by Pars Lagerkvist

Poisonings, love affairs, and DaVinci’s Last Supper: the moral duality of the Italian Renaissance from the perspective of the court dwarf. Pars Lagerkvist’s Nobel Prize winning novel is a provoking examination of human nature and evil.

“I have noticed that sometimes I frighten people; what they really fear is themselves…the dwarf within”
