Shakespeare's "King Phycus"

I could not believe just how ridiculously funny this show was! The audience roared with laughter for the entire duration of the show. These particular actors and actresses are truly the masters of their craft. Their acting, comedic skills, and delivery are mind-blowing. I would recommend this silly yet witty play to absolutely everyone. Well done.... full review

You really need to understand something thoroughly if you're going to parody it well -- and these guys obviously know their Shakespeare! They don't miss a joke in this hilarious romp, but through all the hysterical sight gags, quick changes, and dance numbers(!) they're able to speak this difficult pun-filled verse perfectly. It's not possible to pick a standout -- each actor is terrific in multiple roles -- and the real star is their tight ensemble work. The late night crowd went crazy for them. Huzzah!... full review

OMG - what can be said that hasn't already been said about this incredible show, surely the Best Comedy Show at Fringe this year. Such a hodgepodge of Shakespeare and pop culture references, it felt like a production of Reduced Shakespeare's Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged).

King Phycus is a laugh riot, and a damn good show as well!... full review

Simultaneously intelligent and ridiculous. The cast was phenomenal and the impressions were spot on!... full review

What may have once scared off those less familiar with Shakespeare's plays for fear of not understanding the language is now made completely and hilariously accessible to everyone. In a little over an hour, the play extracts scenes, characters, and memorable moments from Shakespeare's greatest tragedies such as Hamlet, King Lear, Romeo & Juliet, Richard III, and Julius Caesar, and brilliantly crafts a wacky new tale with more belly laughs than you thought you had in you. Director John Apicella and Abby Wilde have truncated the longer Tom Willmorth play to fit the Fringe sc... full review
