“As a director he accomplishes to not only give us complexity to these characters, but doesn’t keep the audience outside. He wants us to be a part of everything on a much larger scale. Its almost as though he has created a microcosm of sorts, and he executes everything fantastically. The Factory Theatre is a small space, and Sotis uses it every bit of it incredibly well.”
