Reviews
“I love puzzles and games… So a show like Walking Shadow Theatre Company’s Saboteur–a theatrical show with interactive puzzles to boot–hits my sweet spot perfectly… it’s all a lot of fun and quickly paced.”
– Ed Huyck, City Pages
“It gives away nothing to admit that the show is a lot of fun… There are codes to be cracked and puzzles to be constructed, mazes to be run and locked boxes to be opened… Saboteur skips happily through many of the standard twists and turns of the spy genre. Yes, evil masterminds are plotting to rule the world and things seem dire, but they wouldn’t really erase my memory. Or would they?”
– Matthew Everett, TC Daily Planet
