Our Latest Review
Our latest Review from So So Gay, Four Stars:
“Steven Young’s skills as a playwright are laid bare in some beautifully written descriptive dialogue; of particular note are Harry’s poetic and engrossing reminiscences of battle, made all the more impressive and memorable by Trosko’s bounding panache.”
“…unusual and powerfully affecting, The King’s Face is a brilliant, entertaining and exhilarating piece of theatre.”

Four Star Review from Fringe Guru
“The King’s Face is well-conceived, well-written and supremely well-acted, with genuine insights into the half-cursed life of Shakespeare’s most famous monarch… …With an intriguing topic and a deft execution, it’s a play I’ll be thinking about for a good while to come.”
