“Like the polar explorer, director Jill Anna Ponasik specializes in daunting challenges. She conducts a creative team that brings Ernest Shackleton Loves Me as a full-blown multimedia production.”
Jim Higgins, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“Director Jill Anna Ponasik brings her usual (and much missed) kinetic imagination to the 90 propulsive minutes, as Martin and Daniels act out Shackleton’s harrowing journey with crates and ropes as props, like kids playing make believe, but with an urgency that gives the fantastical events just the right amount of emotional truth.”
