"… director Paul Bedard smartly breathes fresh air into a classic … The physically rigorous choreographies by Katie Palmer were hypnotic and sexually provocative, especially during the lengthy fight scenes between Peck and Boersma, which were truly memorable.” - Show Business Weekly
"… wildly inventive maneuvers … impressively choreographed calisthenic dance fighting, and a surprisingly bubbly sense of humor.” - Surreal Time Press "Though Bedard and company have taken a great number of risks in this stylized semi-update of Coriolanus, the result is well worthwhile.” - The L Magazine |
