REVIEWS:
"The weather may be grey, but Remy Bumppo’s PUFF: BELIEVE IT OR NOT makes the theater sparkle...
In such a comedy, the diamonds that shine the brightest and cut the deepest are those of timing and wit. Thanks to Nick Sandys direction, the entire ensemble has harnessed the spirit of the style,...they are deliciously enjoyable..."

Puff: Believe It or Not gets to the truth of lying
"... a smart, cynical world premiere production now from Remy Bumppo Theatre... Nick Sandys’s direction, quiet and fluid too—resisting what must’ve been a sore temptation to overplay the sense of many balls juggled...."
Chicago Reader
"As directed by Nick Sandys, the rapid plot twists and turns both hold water and also amuse. It's a handsome production, too,... Puff is a rare opportunity and a good show." Windy City Times 2017-12-06
Fake News and the Truth
"Artistic Director Nick Sandys has lovingly orchestrated his production with scholarly glee and an eye for skewering our own puffed up society... It’s a frightening and alarming premise but, in Ranjit Bolt’s wise and witty translation, and Nick Sandys’ glorious production, this period play turns into a comical cautionary tale for today."
ChicagoTheatre Review.com Dec. 4, 2017
"It’s a cunning combination — Scribe’s world-weary cynicism, Bolt’s presentational playfulness, and director Nick Sandys’ supple world-premiere staging,... a very welcome theatrical rediscovery, a French classic to make yesterday tomorrow." StageandCinema.com
"Part of Remy Bumppo’s mission is to breathe life into plays that are highly literary, and with this world premiere, they’ve provided audiences interested in nineteenth-century period pieces with a unique opportunity to enjoy another era’s pop culture." Picture This Post 12/3/17
