Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company

Here's what the Critics had to say about BETC's World Premiere production of Morisot Reclining!

"Inventive in form, confident in execution and expertly performed, "Morisot Reclining" is an achievement for the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company." (John Moore, Denver Post)

About the Play

"The playwright has not only molded the lives of four cutting-edge impressionists into a forceful drama, but illuminated a most rare treasure." (Bob Bows, Colorado Drama)

"The dialogue is smart and accessible... it all works wonderfully." (Mark Collins, The Daily Camera)

"The script is an assured and intelligent work by a talented local playwright, given a serious staging by the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company." (Juliet Wittman, Westword)

"It's fun watching these astonishing painters interact, keeping their sexual passions under wraps while freely sharing their passion for their work and discussing the problems of female artists in a male-dominated world." (Juliet Wittman, Westword)

About the Actors

"Weitz and Slack nurture a magnetic tension held in check by the social conventions of the day, with Weitz pouring himself into the canvas and Slack telling all in her face and body language." (Bob Bows, Colorado Drama)

"Matthew Mueller is a delight as a multi-faceted Degas — funny as hell in a dress as Morisot's mother, without ever going over the edge into pantomime humor, and genuinely moving as Eugene Manet, who slowly realizes that he can never obtain his wife's love." (Juliet Wittman, Westword)
