Hart Island is a good theatrical multimedia meditation on New York City’s Potter’s Field and the humans connected to it, living and dead. It weaves together the voices of the friends and family of Hart Island’s deceased, Rikers Island inmates and gravediggers, and fictional documentary narration.
“Mason Holdings’ haunting Hart Island epitomizes downtown, avant-garde performance at its best: cerebral, theatrical, scrupulously researched, and bursting with heart.”
—Theatre Is Easy
“A profound meditation on what New York City and the rest of the world has gone through in the past few years: a spectrum of emotion from abject grief to acceptance.”
—Theater Scene
“This theatrical event should be seen and heard both for its expansive intellectual reach and its extraordinarily immersive empathy.”
—Theatre Reviews From My Seat
“Powerful and beautifully staged.”
—TheatreMania
“Absorbing.”
—The New Yorker
