Folger's 2019 Season opener deftly tells the tale of king's reign and the rebellion he faces, a prince burdened by expectations, and the struggles of family, honor, and duty.

BWW Reviews: OIL at Olney Theatre Center - It's an American Premiere
by Charles Shubow
- Mar 11, 2019
Let me start this review with a comment by Olney's Artistic Director, Jason Loewith's comment in the program.

I can count on two hands the experiences that reshaped by understanding of live theater and its possibilities. The world premiere of Ella Hickson's OIL in London two years was one of them. It is a blazingly, ambitious, as intellectually thrilling, as emotionally resonant as most the great works I've seen this century.'
