“horrifying…unsettling…an uncomfortably fair psychological fight.”
— The Washington Post

“creepy and convincing…uncomfortable, in-your-face, honest, and realistic…I can’t wait to see what the company does next.”
— Broadway World

“Five Stars…a sustained electric charge of tension…amps up the voltage to a point of potential trauma where a fuse might blow …the only real breathers from this breathtakingly intense drama are the brief blackouts between scenes”.
— DC Metro Theater Arts

“Brilliant…amps up the scares…you won’t see a more visceral staging of a play”.
— Entertainment Or Die

“a chest-clutching, jaw-gaping play of terror…see this play. It will disturb you in its wicked brilliancy”.
— American Literary Magazine

” Expertly directed by Molotov’s Co-Artistic Director Michael Wright. He has used every inch of the teeny tiny DC Arts Center stage to full advantage. Wright builds the intensity of the piece from what looks like a casual encounter at the top of the show to its ultimate climax”.
— Maryland Theatre Guide

Julius Caesar

“It is outrageous and it turns all of history upside down. You will hoot with laughter. And there’s plenty of gushing blood. Trust me on this.”
— dctheatrescene.com

“It’s quite a high-wire act, and it comes off beautifully. This is remarkable work. It’s a great, funny melding of Shakespeare and a Saturday-night horror show, but with many legitimate things to say, and eye-opening performances.”
— Dust and Corruption blog

“Bloody for the shock factor in certain moments, but way more classy than Troma.”
— Drown My Books blog

“The troupe tackles this project with bloody ferocity and maniacal glee under the master direction of Kevin Finkelstein.”
— dcmetrotheaterarts.com

Fat Men in Skirts

HELEN HAYES AWARDS RECOMMENDED©

“No time to catch your breath in this 90-minute, nonstop shock-and-awe campaign…”
— Washingtonpost.com

“Molotov Theatre is to the DC theater community what Björk is to the music world. I enjoyed this more refined, psychological approach to their usual goal of probing the dark and murky caverns of our collective subconscious.”
— dctheatrescene.com

“A bloody tone poem of love and anxiety, Molotov Theatre’s ‘Fat Men in Skirts’ is surprisingly sweet for a play about rape and cannibalism…”
— Washington Post

“One of the best plays they’ve done, full of wicked wit…This is Molotov at its best; gory, offensive, vulgar, smart, thought-provoking, and sensitive.”
— Dust and Corruption blog

“Fat Men strikes just the right tone…it’s edgy, raw and a little nonsensical. Molotov offers some impressive stage combat and some true gross-out effects…Marcus is commanding, spooky and riveting.”
— Dcist.com

Morgue Story

“It’s gruesome, tasteless, gory, vulgar, intelligent, sensitive, tragic, and overflowing with irony and its awareness of the omnipresence of death. It’s like scratching the surface of a John Waters plot and Schopenhauer underneath.”
— Dust and Corruption blog

“Their broad, delirious take on this story is like a blunt hammer swung by a clumsy drunk. Morgue Story delivers. This is a winkingly clever group of artists.”
— dctheatresene.com

Horrors of Online Dating

”Whimsically grotesque.“
— Washington Post Express

“perfectly choreographed for both maximum hilarity and maximum audience blood coverage…a carnival ride of a show…”
— Washington City Paper

“fear and Loathing in Las Vegas filmed on Avenue Q…”
— dctheatrescene.com

“about ten times the play I expected.”
— Dust and Corruption blog

Closet Land

“It’s a chilling, effective play. The torture scenes are handled with a certain amount of subtlety…Zavistovich exudes a bland, jovial complacency – until the mask comes off.”
— Dust and Corruption blog

“a disturbing piece of theatre that receives a solid and mostly involving production by the Molotov Theatre Group. Closet Land is a serious and affecting drama.”
— dctheatrescene.com

Blood, Sweat & Fears III

“This show is being played for laughs. Big, raucous, dirty laughs…”
— dctheatrescene.com

“a cozy, creaking tour bus slumming its way through theater history…”
— Washingtonpost.com

Mondo Andronicus

“a bloody, dizzying descent into the darkest corners of the human heart. If you can handle the graphic violence and ignore the B-movie props, there are impressive performances to behold here. Mondo Andronicus offers up a meaty dish of raw, vital theater that will haunt you long after you leave…”
— dctheatrescene.com

“Zavistovich has a weary authority… Cyle Durkee has a voice and a leer that make your skin start sloughing off … JaBen Early seethes with coiled antipathy as Aaron, and Ty Hallmark is a sinuous Tamora in her black bustier and boots…”
— DC City Paper

“Lucas Maloney’s direction keeps things going and is deft and smart. He knows just how much to suggest and how much to show, so that what’s left to your imaginations is pretty damn vivid.”
— Dust and Corruption blog

“I expected “Shock Theater” camp, and what I got was a very serious and professional production of Titus. They had condensed Titus down to 60 minutes to its barest core, stripping out much of the text to focus on the emotional darkness within the play. It was raw, it was brutal, and it was severe…”
