"...a uniformly excellent cast...is giving one of the best ensemble performances in town right now and you should go see them do it." 

"Director Edward Elefterion employs his trademark minimalist style to great effect..."

"You don't have to be a nymphomaniac woodland sprite wed to an uptight lawyer to figure out that the marriage contract can constitute a raw deal. But it's a hilarious premise, which writer Stanton Wood, director Edward Elefterion, and the highly talented minimalists of the Rabbit Hole Ensemble make the most of in Big Thick Rod."

From the award-winning creative team that devoted a year towards crafting three separate plays exploring F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu and Bram Stoker's Dracula...

The Night of Nosferatu

  • "This production asks the audience to immerse themselves immediately into physical storytelling, complete with ensemble made atmospheric sounds, simple, but effectively moody lighting, and basic black or white costumes. It takes an initial adjustment to jump into the world that Elefterion creates, but once you’re in, The Night of Nosferatu, overall, ambitiously re-invents preconceptions of this horrific classic."

  • "In the horror genre, it's not necessarily the monster that gives us the chills; it's the atmosphere of suspense.  Fortunately for their adaptation of Nosferatu, Rabbit Hole Ensemble has atmosphere in spades.  Wood's adaptation is ingenious...a grand, spine-tingling production..."

  • "With direction as taut as a piano wire, Edward Elefterion’s six-person ensemble grips the audience in a vise of suspense from start to finish using few props, dramatic lighting, and self-produced sound effects in spellbinding fashion.  It makes you think you’re watching a theatrical symphony with each actor’s instrument equally harmonious."

Nosferatu: The Morning of My Death

  • "One of the breakout hits of this year's Midtown International Theatre Festival...
    The cast of six work near miracles to portray dozens of characters...
    The company finds the essence of what's really scary in this legend, and communicates it boldly and deftly." - Martin Denton, nytheatre.com

  • "...a worthy successor to Murnau's film and an original response to it...
    The ensemble [creates an] effect that couldn't be done better with technology...
    Elefterion is clearly a director to keep watching." - offoffonline.com

  • "What makes this an especially moving production is director Edward
    Elefterion's embrace of simplicity and style. There are minimal sets,
    moody lighting full of shadow, simple costumes that don't indicate a
    particular period, few props, and most intriguing, the cast's creation
    of subtle sound effects to add depth to the various scenes.  Stanton Wood has created an excellent adaptation of the Dracula legend..." - oobr.com

Land of the Undead

  • "Notable for its effective use of story-theatre techniques...under the seamless direction of Edward Elefterion, [Land of the Undead] proceeds with minimal props, less scenery, and total seriousness." - Backstage.com
