"A flawless spectacle..."
dctheatrescene.com
"Cabaret meets Shakespeare in this breathtakingly contemporary production... Daniel Pelzig has done a marvelous job of capturing the seductive abandon of 1930s German cabaret society turned Fascist regime..." mdtheatreguide.com |

"The 20-minute cabaret pre-show was a masterstroke of realizing Director Jonathan Munby’s concept, and audiences are strongly urged to get there early to enjoy it. A lusty, lush spectacle of naughtiness, the presentation grabbed us by the lapels and flung us into this world of debauchery and its draconian hangover of punishments."

"Getting More from a Lesser Work... Storybook imagery sparkles in Pericles"
Baltimore Sun
"[the notion of cultural identity is reinforced] in Daniel Pelzig's choreography (case in point: the quirky dance of the knights, where each knight makes a hilariously idiosyncratic salute.)"
Washington Post |

 |
"A fine Henry V? That's nice. A rewarding As You Like It? Always welcome. But a great Pericles? Wow. Now that's really something."
Washington Post
"An evening of bewitching ingenuity and bountiful surprise."
