Review Excerpts

“‘APT AND RANDALL DUK KIM RISE TO THE CHALLENGE IN ‘OEDIPUS REX’’…Oedipus would seem to be the most ‘fatally flawed’ of heroes. But the play and Kim’s eloquent performance situate him clearly in his human relationship to what cannot be known.”
               —Kevin Lynch, THE CAPITAL TIMES (8/28/1989)

“‘RAW EMOTIONAL TERROR SHOWN IN APT’S ‘REX’’…Driven by the superbly controlled strength of Randall Duk Kim in the title role, the company—under the direction of translator John Wyatt and Anne Occhiogrosso—makes perfectly clear the fall of a hero tricked by the gods into patricide and incest with his mother.…Kim’s fiery anger, mournful madness and his final pathetic defeat fuel the impact of the piece.”
               —Jay Joslyn, MILWAUKEE SENTINEL (8/28/1989)

“‘AMERICAN PLAYERS SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON ‘OEDIPUS’’…Kim gives a strong performance.…”
