Banter flies in brisk, polished "Winter"

"There's plenty of court intrigue in The Lion in Winter, but what really shines in (this) production is the sparkling banter that races across the stage... a polished, zippy production "

"This is the most thrillingly satisfying production of this play in aeons. Rick Bernstein’s direction is magnificent. Wade Wood (as Henry) is masterful to say the least......Jan Cleveland is brilliant as Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine...Christian Mast’s portrayal (of) Geoffrey is some of his best work to date...A riveting and exhilarating evening of theatre...This show is a knock-out!"
David Marlowe, OutFront Colorado

"The Lion in Winter" is a masterpiece of shifting allegiances, bold betrayals (and) convoluted schemes... Rick Bernstein’s direction is sharp as a dagger... The production is excellent, the dialogue is fresh, the action visceral, and there’s a surprising amount of humor..."
Patrick Dorn, The Troupe
