“You need a director with vision to fill it. Maybe you’ve called Rebecca Bayla Taichman. …the evening offers plenty to show off Taichman’s excellent antennae for comedy and ear for the text.”
– THE WASHINGTON POST
“A ‘Twelfth Night’ renewed, gorgeously saluting romance”
– THE INQUIRER
“…when you see (and see it you should) director Rebecca Taichman’s production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night…
Director Rebecca Taichman has designed her production to move from sadness and solemnity through intersecting moments of folly, passion, confusion and discovery before emerging into celestial bliss.”
– TALKIN BROADWAY
In the final scene, [Olivia’s] amazement at discovering that there are not one but two comely young men on hand is brilliantly played. Olivia’s two word expression of fascinated surprise-‘Most wonderful!’- is charged with ripe eroticism. It’s most wonderful.”
