PRESS:

“Taut, compelling, inventive […] a trail-blazing production […] What makes this powerful investigation of the dangers of unchecked power work so well is the vision of director Elkind and costume designer Alyssa Korol. Performed in the round on a stage adorned only by a floor circle of flowers , four talented actors […] switch roles easily by donning sunglasses, hats and knee pads, often while turning on a dime from one character to another.” — NJ Arts Maven

“Hits you like a whirlwind […] With its speed, its energy and its unconventional staging, this is a consistently engaging production — one that should be applauded by Shakespeare aficionados, but that also could serve as a good introductory Shakespeare experience.” —New Jersey Arts
