Reviews and Reactions
“Your Hamlet production was incredible and greatly exceeded all of my expectations! I could not have hoped for a better cast. My 11-year-old nephew only mentioned Star Wars once on our one-hour drive home, and that is something no one else has ever been able to do.”
-Kaleb C.
“As usual with Tulsa Shakespeare Company, every word comes through simple and clear (no British accents here) and the lines roll and bounce with their own natural music—which makes silences, when they come, all the more resonant. There’s no attempt at artiness here, no avant-garde pretension, no ponderous weight. This is a Hamlet that moves, and what moves me most is the text itself, trusted by a committed cast and crew to deliver its own genius.”
-Alicia Chesser, The Pickup (read full review here)
“A haunting and beautiful production of Hamlet.”
-Mark Z.
“I’ve seen Hamlet before but this is the first time I FELT Hamlet. Powerful performances from everyone!”
-Jerry P.
“Such a magnificent portrayal of such a challenging character. All the madness and rage then a sudden humanity in the famous monologue, ‘To be or not to be.’ And, everyone around you too! Well done.”
-Travis H.
