Audience reactions:

• “I’ve never seen two actors trust each other more on stage.” 

• “Phenomenally inspiring!” 

• “Made me want to immediately go out and make some theatre.”

• “Shakespeare as I've never heard it spoken or seen it lived before.”

• "Inventive, imaginative, evolutionary!'

• “Andrew Codispoti and Ariana Karp dance with the verse in a way accessible to audiences. They attack the tragedy with visceral ferocity and the comedy with gut-busting laity. I have never laughed so much at a Shakespeare show. The pair have so much charm and connection with the audience they really invite everyone to be a part of the show.”  — Josh H

• “It was captivating and surprising.  Scenes that I thought I knew -- that I had read, studied, discussed, debated, and performed -- came to life in entirely new ways and reminded me of the many lives that can exist within a character and the many ways different actions can drive a moment.  True to the text and building on intense collaboration and trust, you enveloped the audience with each world you created.” — Jane H

• “You think you know the scenes from Shakespeare?  Well, think again. This is a whole different level of Shakespeare performance. Don’t go one night - go two, three - as many as you can. Go each night of the run of their performances.  You’ll see a different interpretation every night. These are consummate performers - their interpretations of the characters in Shakespeare scenes will make you rethink the plays. You’ll hear lines you’ve never heard before, but believe me, they are in the play. It’s just that these two bring out the essence of the scenes. You will see scenes from Shakespeare plays like never before. The actors move at a dance-like pace. One night a scene will start as an argument; the next night, that same scene will play as two comrades talking about their day. These performers are so adept in their interpretations, moving seamlessly from one scene to the next. Experience the next level of a whole new Shakespeare performance. You will hear the scenes differently - you will see the scenes differently. And because I suggest you go to multiple performances; you will see a different interpretation each night. Have dinner or go to a pub after the performance so you can discuss the scenes with your friends. If you are an actor, go to see what the next level of acting looks like. And see what it’s like when you find an acting partner who knows you so well and that you know so well that every scene becomes a dance.” — Amy M
