“Director Aaron Cromie has walked that smart, fine line between rigorous classicism and contemporary fun: two noble dudes who fist bump and reminisce about wenches, while the company provides great fights and wild dances. The costumes are contemporary clothes and there is no set to speak of: This is no-frills theater-making with energy and gusto.”
— Philadelphia Inquirer
“Cromie brings his signature wit, insight, and clarity, along with his masterful mentoring of the young ensemble, to this obscure work. And he does it with a contemporary twist, employing current costumes, music, and dance moves, high fives and homie handshakes that are both humorous and age-appropriate to the youthful characters and cast. Under Cromie’s direction...all the actors capably convey both the meter and meaning of the classic words and tale, while making them accessible to a present-day audience.”
