MoM - A Rock Concert Musical
"One of the most adventurous and satisfying events of this theater season.
Director Richard Caliban’s use of the space and groupings of the chorus and principal characters is brilliantly organized and enjoyably surprising. "
Richard Hummler, Variety, on Crowbar
"Imaginatively directed... "
Frank Rich, The New York Times
"CROWBAR, wittily directed by Richard Caliban,
is off-off Broadway’s
Cucaracha and La Mama
come to 42nd Street full blown. "
- Jerry Talmer, New York Post
"Masterfully directed..."
Peter Marks, The New York Times
On "Second Hand Smoke" by Mac Wellman
"Adapting high-tech ideas from movies and television, Mr. Caliban as director creates rhythmic patterns of overlapping scenes. Sleekly sliding platforms glide on tracks. The effect is like that in a Hitchcock film, in which a passenger on one train may glimpse a strange event through the window of a passing car. "
- Mel Gussow, The New York Times
on “Homo Sapien Shuffle” at the Public Theater
"Cucaracha Strikes Again!
Richard Caliban’s Rodents & Radios
is the essence of downtown theatre.
With a dexterous blend of cacophonous sound (ticking clocks, murmuring voices, heavy metal, comfy jazz) and nearly straight storytelling, Caliban’s staging is as stripped down as it is unexpectedly stately.
Katherine Dieckmann, Village Voice on “Rodents & Radios”
"...a joyride along the Cutting Edge.
Richard Caliban musters up a collage of dreamologues draped against designs from subconscious spin art
and a mood-setting movie soundtrack.
A curious brew of eerie elegance. "
Margot Ebling, Village Voice on “Performance Piece #27”

The film
"Bristles with originality and daring.
Director Richard Caliban whips up evocative visual imagery. "
Village Voice, on "Easter", by Will Scheffer
"...particularly well directed by Richard Caliban who treats the material like a wicked musical..."
Bruce Weber, The New York Times
on The Young Playwrights Festival
That it all comes off so smoothly owes a lot to very sensitive direction by Richard Caliban,
who has often demonstrated how to make one actor's movements suggest whole legions."
D.J.R. Bruckner, The New York Times
on "Birth Rite" by Elizabeth Hess
"Directed by Richard Caliban with such provocative brilliance
that this production asks a crucial reappraisal of the play. "
Dan Issac, Backstage on "Clash By Night", by Clifford Odets
The revival, directed by Richard Caliban, returns the play to its roots. Mr. Caliban understands that this is, more than anything else, a period piece...
The director immerses us in a specific time and place; the evening begins with a young couple performing, in reverse chronological order,
the dance crazes and musical styles of the last half century, until they arrive in the summer of 1941.."
. Peter Marks, The New York Times
on "Clash By Night" by Clifford Odets
"Directed with high spirited flair... "
