Jason Grote's "1001" is a strange and aggressively post-modern reimagining of Scheherazade and the Arabian Nights. Set in ancient Persia and modern-day New York, featuring guest appearances by Osama bin Laden and Gustave Flaubert, the play is nothing less than a sprawling mess, though always a fascinating one (D.N.).

M Whitehead So Pasadena, CA

We didn't get it. There was no "blurb" in the program to let us know what was going on & couldn't understand the actor. The explicit sex was completely uncalled for & certainly not pleasant to watch. We want to support Boston Court, but now we're wondering.

Unbelievable! This is an important and entertaining and remarkably well written play given a spectacular production by the Theater at Boston Court. The show is still in previews so there were a few rough edges to work out but this production is on par with the best regional theater I've seen anywhere. Performances, design and especially Michael Michetti's inventive direction make this a must see.
