"A riotous and nuanced 'Henry V'...Rightmyer offers one of the most intelligent cuts of the script I have ever seen...The cast works truly as an ensemble, so that it seems almost disingenuous to single any one actor out for her contribution to the whole...The St. Crispin Day's speech...is given new breath, new desperation, new hope and vitality in Greener's honest telling...One of the best productions of this play it has been my pleasure to attend. Highly recommended."
