Reviews

Fast-paced and gripping, this is an unusually lucid staging of a bloody history play, whose surfeit of schemes and villainy could make a daytime-drama writer blush. Yet for all the battles and beheadings in Stephen Brown-Fried’s handsomely designed production, never does it take death lightly. That’s one of the remarkable things about it.

(Laura Collin-Hughes: New York Times)

Gorgeously designed, largely well-acted, and effectively staged…with exciting choreography, suspenseful music and dramatic lighting…

(Jonathan Mandell: New York Theatre)

[Jon Norman] Schneider movingly portrays King Henry’s growth from a hesitant teenaged monarch…into an experienced if largely impotent leader attempting to make his voice heard.

(Dan Rubins: Theatre is Easy)

Kim Wong’s Joan of Arc shines with clarity and power…a mixture of fervor and bravery…Mia Katigbak is both embracing and terrifying as the ambitious Duke of Gloucester.

(Martha Steketee: The Clyde Fitch Report)
