"The play offers up a serious consideration of questions of self-determination vs. predestination, yet Stoppard’s sharp and off-kilter humor shines through repeatedly, arising not from silly tomfoolery but from the very strange situation in which two minor and interchangeable functionaries are unexpectedly thrust into the limelight...The eight-member cast collaborate beautifully to make this a strong and consistently illuminating ensemble effort."

"The chemistry between the two actresses really helped me to settle into the rhythm of their relationship, and it was a delight to see them have fun with the games being played. The aesthetic of the show is also very interesting...This production was a joy to attend. The company really plays with the text, and the pleasure of that freedom is visible in their performance... I recommend this production to any appreciators of Shakespeare and syllogisms, or anyone looking to have a good laugh."
