In English:About "The Blind Trip" in Big News Magazine -2010
"The journey includes five parts, exploring different themes, based on each text, and ends with the untying of the scarf covering the spectator’s eyes, in front of a “blind” actor, who summons the former to respond to an improvised quiz and to pick a slip of paper from the mast of nutshells-turned-sailboats" |

Article in the NY Times featuring Ana Margineanu- 2010"You move from room to room in a mansion, experiencing acts of kindness — like being gently led in a ballroom dance or receiving a hand massage. Or, blindfolded, you set out on a journey in five segments with different themes: you can remove the blindfold at any point, but that’s where the journey ends. These are all theater pieces meant to be experienced by an audience of one."

Interview with Ana Margineanu in Art Act -2009"The project Despre România, numai de bine (Of Romania, Nothing but the Good) appeared from a need for personal theatre.

About "Bucharest Calling" in NYtheatre.com - 2007"Director Ana Margineanu is equally comfortable with Bucharest Calling's tricky brand of pathos, and avoids the all-too-easy trap of wallowing in it. She keeps the play relatively light and matter-of-fact, leaving the audience to endow it with meaning and heft (even though it has plenty of both already)."
About "Bucharest Calling" in NY Theatre Scene- 2007"Under Ana Margineanu’s astute direction, the story plays out in a series of short, staccato scenes, enhanced by appropriate slides and videos. A fresh, welcome voice to the Festival."
