Critical Acclaim
“Excellent…the audience could not have been more excited. The company’s work is always intriguing and a treat to see. The Winter’s Tale is a difficult play, dramaturgically quirky and structurally challenging. Cheek by Jowl pulls it off with aplomb. ”
“An original masterpiece...a privilege!”
“A dazzling display of grace and intelligence”
“All the vast richness of the world dreamed up by Shakespeare shines with blinding splendour in this Winter's Tale.”
“This was a production of extraordinary nuance... a revelatory Winter’s Tale.”
“Under Donnellan’s keen, clear eye, the result is high on the “wonder” that typifies this late-career Bardic romance …brilliantly reconceived.”
“As invigorating and intoxicating as shot of adrenaline: as exciting as theatre can get!”
