“If this is how Shakespeare always felt to me, I’d be at the theatre every weekend.”

“Refreshing…not some concept”
“I can’t tell you all how refreshing it was to see a company just do THE PLAY. Not some concept or any other fluff that isn’t textual, but the play. Actors handling text, clear story telling, and some exciting fire happening between scene partners - making a play long produced feel new and exciting again.”
-Parker Gray, SMU Alum
