“Dartington’s Solvents Theatre Company surprised us by following the solemnities of Leviathan with a hilarious expressionist cabaret, The Cosmic Family Workshop-Seminar, which sent up the hucksterism of evangelical religion and personal makeover shows, and won the company an award for its versatility.”

“A ghostly replay of themes from Melville’s Moby Dick supplied the disjointed material for Leviathan, by Dartington’s Solvents Theatre Company. Klaus Kruse won the Directors’ Guild Award for leading the creation of a poetic event of visual and aural beauty that enlisted the audience as participants, and subjected them to some of the deprivations experienced by Ahab’s crew.”
