“… Frankly, anyone who cares about theater ought to go see it.”

-  Lloyd Rose, “Here & Now” spotlight on The Idiot, The Washington Post

“This is the kind of thing people used to mean when they talked about ‘the magic of theater’.”

-  “‘Hypochondriac’: Fit as a Fiddle,” by Lloyd Rose, The Washington Post

“Moličre’s satire Le Malade Imaginaire ... calls for three interludes of dance and music, which it usually doesn’t get.  But the Stanislavsky actors specialize in just such a synthesis of the arts, and so their production respects the author’s intent and includes three brilliantly evocative, speechless movement sections.  This production, performed in English, is full of mime, dance, song and music, making for an extraordinarily rich evening of theater."

-  “Mind Over ‘Malade’,” by Sarah Kaufman, The Washington Post

“The members of the STS are primarily theater professionals from Russia, and this is ... a presentation held to high and rigorous aesthetic standards.  For Washington audiences, it’s a chance to see work from a different theater tradition performed by people who have trained and worked in that tradition, not just studied it in drama school.”

- “At Stanislavsky, an ‘Idiot’ that’s Pure Brilliance,”  by Lloyd Rose, Washington Post

“We’re extremely lucky that this group, when they immigrated to this country, didn’t go straight to New York.”

- Jane Horwitz, “Around Town,” WETA TV (PBS)

- Judy Rousuck, Theater Critic, The Baltimore Sun, March 17, 1999

“The grace and commanding presence with which Stanislavsky Theater Studio’s co-founder Andrei Malaev-Babel performs six of his grandfather Isaac Babel’s incomparable short stories as a swiftly-moving, two-act presentation of 19th and early 20th century-style story telling results in a 21st century masterpiece of the dramatic art.
