About LDA on the Skype blog- 2013"When the performance ended, I was stunned.

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."

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."
