Reviews<\/h2>\n

What the Critics are saying<\/h4>\n

Sir Patient Fancy<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Queen\u2019s Company taps its inner swashbuckler (and farceur) with Sir Patient Fancy<\/em>, a work by one of the rare female professional playwrights of the 17th century, Aphra Behn\u2026the cast members provide all the energy this show requires.\u201d \u2014 Andy Webster, New York Times (see full review<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe company knows that love and lust don\u2019t come from manhood or femininity, they come from human nature. This liberated spirit and humanist passion puffs Sir Patient Fancy<\/em> into a giddy pleasure.\u201d \u2013 Aaron Grunfeld, New York Theatre Review (see full review<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cSir Patient Fancy<\/em> has everything you might expect in a delightful Restoration Comedy, dashing heroes, comely maidens, foolish fops, artful coquettes and a rich old hypochondriac. The fabulous twist here is that all the roles are played by women. This skilled and energetic cast perfectly inhabits this Restoration universe and hilariously brings the play into the present day.\u201d \u2014Lynn Marie Macy, nytheaternow (see full review<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As You Like It<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe audience laughed and laughed to the point of weak gasps. All of us having a wonderful time. Billed as \u2018sexy and playful,\u2019 the show delivered on its promise.\u201d — Claire McCurdy, Womanabouttown.com (see full review<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe Queens Company\u2019s well-crafted take on As You Like It<\/em> is at Walkerspace through May 20.\u201d — Pia Catton, The Wall Street Journal (see full review<\/a> \/ preview article<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Wonder<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cEmploying a playful attitude and an occasional rock \u2018n\u2019 roll beat The Wonder<\/em> is a lively two and a half hours.\u201d — Ken Jaworowski, The New York Times (see full review<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Twelfth Night<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis gender-bending romp through Shakespeare\u2019s classic is one of the best productions of the bard I\u2019ve seen this side of the Atlantic.\u201d — Rachel Brody, The British Theatre Guide (see full review<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Taming of the Shrew<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Queen’s Company’s Taming<\/em> is anything but tame\u201d — Phoebe Hoban, The New York Times (see full review<\/a> \/ preview article<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cNever did we have a raunchier or more spirited production of The Taming of the Shrew<\/em>…this is a remarkable interpretation of Shakespeare’s timeless comedy.\u201d — Irene Backalenick, Backstage (see full review<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Edward II<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cPowerful and vigorous yet sensual and sleek, this samurai-style reinvention of Christopher Marlowe’s little performed play achieves the impossible: not only do we agree that all the women make fantastic and brutal warriors, but we wholeheartedly accept and understand the love that grips the king and his male subject enough to erupt in civil war.\u201d — Lindsey Wilson, TalkinBroadway (see full review<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Much Ado About Nothing<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Queen’s Company, an all-female troupe, has mounted a fun and frivolous new production of Shakespeare’s mischievous love story…it’s a charming evening: the actresses understand Shakespeare’s language and adroitly put across his jokes, and the director, Rebecca Patterson, insures that there’s a great deal of physical humor.\u201d — The New Yorker<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Lucky Chance<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Queen’s Company deserves the following it has established. It is refreshing to see a company willing to take risks and committed to its vision…The company is set to take on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing<\/em> this fall. Make plans now, as you don\u2019t want to miss any chance to see these amazing women in action.\u201d — Christopher Byrne, Gay City News (see full review<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Antony and Cleopatra<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe innovative staging includes a spectacular stylized sea battle that times swordplay to an Indian techno beat…the vitality and promise of this Antony and Cleopatra<\/em> finds hope in its last fleeting glance of a ghost walk in the shadows. The magic of The Queen’s Company simply can’t be stifled.\u201d — Jeremiah Kipp, Showbiz Weekly<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Feign’d Courtesans<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis madly funny production made me laugh so hard I thought I’d crack’d a rib…If I had my way, The Feign’d Courtesans<\/em> would have moved uptown and run for at least a year…The good news is The Queen’s Company will be presenting Antony and Cleopatra<\/em>, and I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Bearded or barefaced, these ladies act up a storm.\u201d — Terry Teachout, The Washington Post<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Duchess of Malfi<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cQuickly becoming one of the most pleasing Off-Broadway troupes infusing much-needed vitality into the classics…The ensemble of women are each remarkable in their own right, each of them comfortable not only with the verse but also the empty stage. The Queen’s Company never seem to be striving for their effects \u2013 in keeping it elegant and spare, they find truth in simplicity and, more to the point, breathtaking specificity.\u201d — Jeremiah Kipp, Matinee Magazine<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIt’s fundamentally gratifying to see girls take on meaty roles like the Cardinal or Bosola \u2013 or the Duchess for that matter \u2013 and perform them with such panache and vigor. Makes quite a case for womanish mankind!\u201d — Alexis Soloski, Time Out New York<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Rover<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe entire company is refreshing and enormous fun and a great contribution to New York Theatre\u201d — John Heilpern, The New York Observer<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
