It's remarkable that The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a stage piece that owes so much to a 90 year old film, feels so fresh and original, but it is without a doubt one of the most memorable and astonishing works of theater I've seen in years. Not many artists have the courage or even the know-how to stage something this bold, but I'm glad Overtime Theatre has moxie to spare. If you are a fan of theater, film, or both, you need to see this glorious production.
