Reviews
-
The Independent
"The play has never felt so strongly feminist… The production is ablaze with energy and throngs with strong, quirky performances…"
-
The Times
"The play bursts with slap(stick) and tickle, prats and pratfalls and lots of laughs - there is not a weak link in the cast."
-
The Stage
"The centrepiece performers are – rightly, given the trajectory of Shakespeare’s plot – the double act of Lacey and Cordingly… It’s consciously very silly and in parts it succeeds at being funny…"
