And here is some praise from the press for the American Shakespeare Center:

“This Shakespeare moves…we feel the inexorable sweep of the action but the poetry has a chance to breathe, too. And how wonderful to hear actors speak Shakespeare naturally. It is poetry come alive.” – The Boston Globe

“Comic sense, quick feet, raucous musical interludes, and flawless timing bring the nearly packed house to near paralysis of laughter.” – The Washington Times

“The actors were concentrated on the effects of passion that were written into the play…the audience was torn from their seats.” – Neuss Grevenbroicher Zeitung, Neuss, Germany

“All this would be of purely historical interest were it not for the high quality of the ASC’s fast-moving productions, which are authentic (no sets, no scene breaks) but not antiquarian.” – The Wall Street Journal

“Shamelessly entertaining.” – The Washington Post

“Blowing the cobwebs off Elizabethan drama.” – Bob Mondello, NPR and The City Paper (Washington, DC)
