Words of praise from the critics*:
"SHREW-- There's much for the Cleveland Shakespeare Festival to celebrate....
This year's Shrew... typical CSF product... youthful, energetic...
...humorous delight in Willie's keen eye at dissecting human foibles....
...paroxysms of laughter....
...lively supporting performances - particularly Carli Taylor Miluk as a
scrumptiously ditzy doll and an ably charming unbilled actor [Justin Steck] as
her suitor Lucentio."-- James Damico, CLEVELAND FREE TIMES
"Richard III -- ...frightening ferocity.
The role of Richard... is taken by Allan Branstein, an able actor... his
speeches... thrill and disgust in equal measure....
...Reagan Kendrick as the doomed Lady Anne and a fiery Cat Kenney as
Margaret....
Director Allan Byrne has some fun with unusual music cues....
...it's Shakespeare, it's free, and it's outdoors. So what's to complain
about?-- Christine Howey, CLEVELAND SCENE MAGAZINE
"The Taming of the Shrew -- While Katharina's submissive curtain speech is
sure to set feminist nerves on edge ("Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy
keeper . . . [women] are bound to serve, love, and obey"), it won't work if
this freshly minted Stepford wife doesn't start with a serious attitude and a
major set of cojones. The Cleveland Shakespeare Festival company gets this
role exactly right, as Lisa Siciliano rages with true grit in the early scenes.
Matching her sneer for sneer is Scott Esposito as the snarky Petruchio, and
their chemistry makes this Shrew a lusty battle. Their wedding scene, when
Petruchio enters wearing motley clothes and a necklace of sausages, is a riot.
Even though some smaller roles are played by actors who are soft on lines and
rely on too much eye-rolling, solid performances are turned in by Carli
Taylor Miluk as dippy Bianca, Edie Hitchcock as Tranio, and Justin Brenis as
Hortensio. These outdoor performances, directed by Larry Nehring, are compact
(under two hours) and worth far more than the admission price (free).-- Christine
Howey, CLEVELAND SCENE MAGAZINE
With encouragement like that, how can you let the last two FREE shows pass
you by?
The Cleveland Shakespeare Festival closes its 10th season with one
performance each of "King Richard III," and "The Taming of the Shrew," tonight and
