REVIEWS

"Murder most entertaining...[with] some wonderful wordplay that captures Shakespeare's metaphor rich speech" ~ Metroland

"A richly layered show...that appeals to the senses and tickles the imagination. You'll be caught up in a good old fashioned murder mystery...Offers a unique sense of what it might have been like to work at the old Globe" ~ Daily Gazette
