About Cymbeline:

"This Cymbeline is an elegant adventure."
- Lawson Taitte, The Dallas Morning News (Click here to read the full review)

"The number one reason to see Cymbeline: It's not a Bard play that you've seen a billion times. Think of it as a mash-up of them."
-Mark Lowry, Theater Jones (Click here to read the full review)

"In Cymbeline, virtue may triumph. But it’s the villains who take the cake."
- Jerome Weeks, Art & Seek (Click here to read the full review)

"Cymbeline is Shakespeare Light: twice the plot with half the text. If you like disguises and discoveries, poisons and pardons, Kings, Queens and all that’s in between, this is your rare opportunity to get them all and then some. Get a blanket, cooler and sand chair and head outside your house and your comfort zone to Shakespeare Dallas at Samuell-Grand Park."
- David Novinski, D Magazine (Click here to read the full review)

About The Comedy of Errors:

"Calling all Abbott and Costello or Three Stooges fans: Shakespeare Dallas' The Comedy of Errors gives the boys a run for the money in sublime silliness. "
- Lawson Taitte, The Dallas Morning News (Click here to read the full review)

"This production brims with well-executed silliness and slapstick. At some point, you just surrender to it. That realization comes early on, actually. It's like watching anything from Benny Hill, Monty Python or Mel Brooks."
- Mark Lowry, Theater Jones (Click here to read the full review)

"It is rare for a Shakespeare production to include references to Smokey Robinson, the Kinks, the Rolling Stones, Starburst, Golden Corral, Cheerios, Marlon Brando, and Billy Ray Cyrus, but Matthew Tomlanovich’s Comedy of Errors at Shakespeare Dallas is hardly purist. The bard’s early play is itself silly, with elements of farce, raunchiness, slapstick, and even stand-up, but this production is relentlessly goofy, full of yuk-yuk’s and self-commentary and chaotic re-interpreting of the language."
