-Ben Brantley, New York Times

“The Fiasco Company brings joyful music, playful inventiveness and just an air-kiss of irony to Shakespeare’s mock-epic. The remind us what theater, at its simplest and most powerful, is really for: the alchemical thrill of watching an entire work conjured into being out of sheer wit and will. A small masterpiece.”

— Scott Brown, New York Magazine

“A playful and inspired work of art.”

— The New Yorker

“Fiasco’s rollicking trunk show is full of life and movement and humor and bluegrass."

— Entertainment Weekly

CRITIC’S PICK! “Hilarious!”

— Time Out New York

“Fresh, frisky, jammed with playful theatricality and music to match. Besides being talented actors, they’re terrific musicians!”

— NY Daily News

“Fiasco Theater’s charming production makes crystal-clear the endlessly convoluted plot developments of the Bard’s late-period romance. They youthful performers have a winning playfulness.”

— Frank Scheck, New York Post

“Sincere with the dialogue and merry of heart, a young ensemble of actors adeptly and joyously handles acting, playing musical instruments and singing harmoniously. A genuinely lighthearted, playful production.”

— Associated Press

“A marvelously acted, highly imaginative triumph – one of the three best Shakespeare’s that I’ve seen in decades in New York.”

— National Review

“A frolicsome form of poor theater on an bare stage, Fiasco Theater gleefully undertake poisoning, beheading, cross-dressing and betrayal. The excitement is infectious!”

— Alexis Soloski, The Village Voice
