“…the production is unlike any play I have experienced.”
“a celestial celebration”
“soul-stirring scenes”
“spellbinding and mystical tunes… Davis’s use of the Zither was sensual.”
“Milo, a gifted actor… portrayed her as tender, weak, strong, and carnal… Milo’s performance deserves admiration.”
“Milo’s natural ability to open our minds to the depths of our inner thoughts made the evening a celebration of Magdalene’s worthy praise.”
– Victoria L. Dammer, Opening Night (NYC)
“It was profound to get to experience so much of what has consumed my life on stage and in such a stunning mix of performance and direct experience. I send you a bouquet of red roses.”
– Meggan Watterson, author of Wall Street Journal bestseller Mary Magdalene Revealed
“a daringly experimental music-theater piece that offers many ways of exploring its subject”
“The video design by Monica Duncan adds a sense of grandeur.”
“Davis, who is onstage for most of the piece, contributes crucially, with a wide variety of gorgeous music — using string, keyboard and percussion instruments — and sound effects, creating a sonic undercurrent.”
“…its ending, with poetry and dancing celebrating Magdalene as a Goddess, had an urgency and a looseness that suggested that what is won by all this questioning is a form of freedom. It was a truly grand finale”
– Jay Lustig, NJarts.net
“a provocative, immersive theatrical experience”

“The work… is the result of deep research and cultural archeology… Reflecting upon and interpreting the myriad, oftentimes conflicting, depictions of [Mary Magdalene’s] life takes us on a journey of self discovery, through histories of art, music, theatre, culture, and religion.”
