Reviews

“Hilarious lessons in love from a stellar improv troupe who draw upon Shakespeare's most memorable love scenes.”
****
Eye Magazine

“Laughs?... plenty. Line-ups?... long. A must-see?... Oh yes.”
*****
Monday Magazine
Victoria, British Columbia

“You’ll have a smile on your face throughout the production, and maybe even learn something about wooing in the process. In a word, Shakespeare for Breakfast is brilliant”

“Rife with playful banter, well written and superbly performed, this play is a prescription for laughter.”

“Laser quick and razor sharp… the results can be pants-wettingly hilarious. A fine balance between hamming it up for comedic effect and going for the emotional jugular. A beautiful hour of theatre”
John Threlfall
Edmonton Sun
Edmonton, Canada

“A charming and delightful concoction. It's also a great opportunity to see actual Brits do Shakespeare, and the do so with wonderful flair. It's a real crowd-pleaser, to boot.”
Minneapolis City Pages

“Inspired silliness… what can I say? You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll fall in love (or step in it). Moral of the review: Just go!”
*****
Todd O. - Audience member

“More productions like this are needed in the Twin Cities! It is entertainment that shouldn’t be missed… You receive a solid hour of enjoyment! I hope this talented group will return next year.”

Michael P. – Audience member

“PHENOMENAL! Light-hearted, delicious, comic… I cannot say enough good things about this delightful piece that will have you falling head-over-heals (in love and laughter).”
Kathleen Bakke – Audience member

"...and in the middle of it all is a simple, fresh playing of the Romeo-Juliet balcony scene that is one of the best I've ever seen - proof once again that Shakespeare, if you don't do him in a heavily Shakespearean way, can always surprise and delight."
