Andrew Kuchling<p>Washington City Paper: Scena Theatre Offers an Extraordinary Retelling of Sophocles’ Ajax</p><p>I've enjoyed Scena's past productions -- the ones I've seen have been intense and sometimes violent; they've been kind of punk.</p><p>"The production is an extraordinary one, with a strong cast guided by a strong vision. McNamara and movement consultant Curtis have created a stylized movement vocabulary for this show that at times recalls the discrete and focused movements of both Noh and the corporeal mime of Etienne Decroux. </p><p>Ceville, his neck and torso splattered with stage blood, gives a muscular performance, both literally and figuratively, displaying the power that makes his former comrades frightened of what he might do next, yet clearly aware of the shame and dishonor his actions have brought.
