Thank you, thank you for bringing radically inclusive theatre to our city. King John was phenomenal, from the performances to the staging, to the lighting, and blocking.’ – audience member

From the Louisville Arts Bureau

by Elizabeth Kramer
"This cast and crew deeply mine the bard’s rarely performed piece with a cast devoid of men, few props and limited set pieces to serve up raw egos, cunning alliances and devastating grief that ensues."

"Besides a stunning production, this telling leaves us with a frustrating story paired with grief as death comes to so many and we see that war yields very little for the high personal prices it extorts. So, it makes sense that company members refer to Shakespeare’s plays of this kind as political war plays rather than categorize them among the customary history plays as most do."


​From LEO Weekly

"As the titular king, Kate Wisniewski...brings an excellent petulance that paints the king’s emotional insecurity with a wry grin, while stopping short of imbuing her character with the sense of ineptitude that Shakespeare’s other weak kings exude."

"...from the moment actor Rami Margron (they/them) bounces onto the stage, they bring a surfeit of… well, call it steaz, rizz, BDE or what you will, Margron brings it...If you have a weakness for bad boy energy, prepare to swoon. "

"...Joyner and Harlett’s scenes impart a sense of vulnerability that reminds us nothing gold can stay..."
