“Club Oberon feels like an underground rock club for the American Repertory Theater’s production of “Prometheus Bound”….Though Steven Sater’s (“Spring Awakening”) book and lyrics and the music of System of a Down leader Serj Tankian are the core of this show, the sensory overload courtesy of Diane Paulus’ impeccable direction makes it an incredibly wild ride.” – Boston Metro

WGBH’s “Greater Boston” – A.R.T. Artistic Director Diane Paulus is about to have four of her directorial efforts running simultaneously—including Hair, The Donkey Show, Death and the Powers, and Prometheus Bound.

“A busy, hands-on, immersive affair, not only for the interactive aspect of the stage hands mingling with a standing or sitting audience but for Prometheus who was beaten, chained, and tortured for something he firmly believed in — fighting tyranny. The acting in this production was as strong as the wildest flames.” – Armenian Mirror-Spectator
