The Aliens

Outstanding Ensemble 2018, Berkshire Theatre Critics Awards

“With a director less sensitive than Daniel Elihu Kramer and a cast less skilled, Annie Baker’s The Aliens would not be the pitch-perfect, impeccably rhythmed production it is on the Town Hall stage at Chester Theatre Company.
-Dan Dwyer, The Berkshire Edge

“Chester Theatre Company, the small summer theatre in the Berkshires foothills, has made great leaps forward, with Artistic Director Daniel Elihu Kramer making bold programming choices and bringing in outstanding regional talent. Baker’s play is one of those slice of life portraits much in need of pace, and director Daniel Elihu Kramer, working on a fine set by Ed Check, places the emphasis on the characterizations of the three extraordinary actors.”
-Mark G. Auerbach, The Westfield News

“Director, and Chester’s artistic director, Daniel Elihu Kramer, straightforward staging recognizes that Baker’s work is more effective when it is simply allowed to happen… Once again, Chester Theatre Company has produced a provocative and timely play in an exemplary production.”
-Macey Levin, Berkshire On Stage
