"The most innovative, gripping and intriguing version of Hamlet that I've seen to date. "

- The Huffington Post

"Nessa Norich [is] an innovative theatrical force emerging from France's Jacques Lecoq International School of Theatre... 

"contemporaneous and electrifyingly involving"

"The Rub also shows a freedom of conception that to me is the essence of Art."

THE RUB was chosen as one of four top shows out of 69 of the NEW ORLEANS FRINGE by THE GAMBIT:
"The fusion of popular culture and tragedy hits a brilliant note." 
"One doesn't need to know or like the original tragedy to enjoy this show." 

"A torrent of visuals and tones grace the floor of the Den of Muses, an appropriate setting for the whimsical pop-culture references and cracked-mirror view of the world that the work embodies."
