Critics Reviews

“It offers considerably more fun than many Shakespeare productions, worth experiencing not to watch an actor get drunk, but to watch a cast juggle so many balls so adroitly.”
– The New York Times

“The buzzy performance is a mix of faithful deliveries of the Bard’s powerful lines and contemporary pop culture references. The result is a show that successfully makes a rich, heavy play accessible, while retaining the air — and language — of the originally version.”
– The Huffington Post
