"31 Down's stunningly designed Here at Home [is a] pocket-size spectacle with charged and moody stage pictures that stubbornly resist cliché." - Jason Zinoman, The New York Times

"Here at Home reinvigorates the subject with a powerful design and a cutting script that reveals just enough to keep the audience confused, curious, and laughing uneasily at its weird, DeLillovian eruptions of humor." - Benjamin Sutton, L Magazine

"...this smartly styled multimedia piece feels almost cosmically in sync and relevant." - BackStage

"Mendel and Witherspoon deliver intense, focused, well-crafted performances as two damaged individuals reaching out to each other for some sort of cold comfort." - Andy Horwitz, Culturebot

 

 


Hallucinogenic audio visual landscapes fuel playwright Eric Bland's contemplative,
poetic characters in Here At Home, as four hometown friends are entrenched from afar
in a modern-day war.
