"Jeannie O'Hare has built a very credible parallel to the Shakespeare canon... this is a dramatic construction with all the depth of a Shakespeare history play, the best of its richness of language, the intelligence to weave that respectfully with modern perspectives, the inventiveness to use new technologies to excite new responses." -- The Reviews Hub
