REVIEWS:
"The Fiasco Company brings joyful music, playful inventiveness and just an air-kiss of irony to Shakespeare’s mock-epic. In just under two hours, they remind us what theater, at its simplest and most powerful, is really for: the alchemical thrill of watching an entire world conjured into being out of sheer wit and will. A small masterpiece."— Scott Brown, New York Magazine
"I have never seen a Cymbeline as easy to follow as this one. For once, the play itself really is the thing. This plucky troupe credibly portrays incredible feats of derring-do; brings elaborate battle scenes to life, and organically blends music into the action. The lucid, modest performances let the comedy, poignancy and unlikely magic of Cymbeline surface gently and naturally."— Ben Brantley, New York Times
"Sincere with the dialogue and merry of heart, a young ensemble of actors adeptly and joyously handles acting, playing musical instruments and singing harmoniously. A genuinely lighthearted, playful production."— Jennifer Farrar, Associated Press4 STARS!
“This scrappy and likable little ensemble's bare-bonesCymbeline is fresh, frisky, jammed with playful theatricality and music to match. Besides being talented actors, they're all terrific musicians who serve up pretty a cappella chorals, guitar-strumming ballads and a foot-stompin' bluegrass ditty, washboard included.”— Joe Dziemianowicz, NY Daily News
“Fiasco Theater's charming production makes crystal-clear the endlessly convoluted plot developments of the Bard's late-period romance. The youthful performers have a winning playfulness.”
— Frank Scheck, New York Post
“Co-directors Steinfeld and Brody exploit poor-theater to often-hilarious effect in this high-spirited show. The company’s palpable, easy delight is a surging tide to raise all boats.”— Helen Shaw, Timeout NY
“A frolicsome form of poor theater on a bare stage, Fiasco Theater gleefully undertake poisoning, beheading, cross-dressing and betrayal. The excitement is infectious!”— Alex Soloski, The Village Voice
“Plucky and perky. It is a bright feather in the cap of Fiasco Theater that so much fun abounds in this crazy-
quilt of an opus. The change-character-on-the-spot conceit inserts bountiful laughs.”
— David Finkle, Theatremania
