The Great God Pan also affirms Herzog as “one of the bright theatrical lights of her generation,” said Charles Isherwood in The New York Times. The 33-year-old possesses “a keen sensitivity to the complex weave of feelings embedded in all human relationships.” As Jamie (Jeremy Strong) gingerly questions those who knew him as a child about his possible molestation, Herzog’s handling of this sensitive material is “gentle, probing, and unfailingly honest.” The play “may not satisfy theatergoers looking for highly charged drama” or “tidy resolutions,” but as Jamie becomes increasingly uncertain of whether a forgotten trauma has shaped his entire personality—including his faults—his growing despair becomes something I’ll not soon forget.
