The “right hands” are here in the form of director Doug Scholz-Carlson’s nimble fingers. Scholz-Carlson piles an array of shtick, sight gags, wise-guy accents, clowning, and 1980s references and imagery on top of the so-ridiculous-it-hurts mayhem that animates the play as Shakespeare wrote it. This is an outlandishly good time. I will concede, it is nothing more than an outlandishly good time, a few sly references and closing benediction that link the plot to our current politics regarding the treatment of foreigners notwithstanding. These days–well, hell, any days–an outlandishly good time is a great reason to spend a couple of hours seated among strangers, all in the thrall of a good mood.

— Arthur Dorman, Talkin’ Broadway

A madcap silly romp of a comedy.

— Cherry and Spoon

“One of the best productions of one of Shakespeare’s most produced plays.”

— Rob Dunkelberger, The Stages of MN

A joyful celebration of searching for and finding home.
