Kendra Jones — Theater Critic

He’s obsessed with a missing and murdered young girl, Elsie, fantasizing in a cripplingly sad yet almost-sensual-yet and disturbingly distraught way towards a lost newspaper clipping that contains her photo. We see her reflection on his armoire mirror: a child-rebel leader. We see an imagined version of his leading child character, Annie Aronburg. The Vivian Girls training for battle! His world is built in front of us from a collection of absorbing, enveloping audio, set, and visuals. Bughouse is truly a crafting of art itself, presenting the world that surrounded Darger, unreserved honesty and sculpture.
