“…glorious, enchanting and transcendent … A script this good, in the hands of a director, cast and creative team this inventive, isn’t something you see every day.” – Single White Fringe Geek
“Theatre Pro Rata's Artistic Director Carin Bratlie Wethern directs the strong five-person cast … Henrietta is perfectly personified by Victoria Pyan... Danielle Krivinchuk is warm and grounded as Henri's sister, with a believable sisterly chemistry between them. Amber Bjork is the stern boss of the workroom, but with heart; Sarah Broude is the fun-loving Scottish maid-turned-computer; and Carl Swanson is Henri's charmingly awkward boss colleague and suitor.” – Cherry and Spoon
“Silent Sky‘s cast seems to have a blast … and it was a pleasure watching them have so much fun. Victoria Pyan seamlessly steps into Henrietta Leavitt's shoes.... Danielle Krivinchuk oozes empathy as Henrietta's sister Margaret Leavitt… Carl Swanson expertly depicts Henrietta's one-time love interest Peter Shaw… Bjork is perfectly stoic, a model suffragette… Broude was absolutely delightful.” Compendium
