Chicago Tribune - Recommended - Kerry Reid
"...in Sandys' hands, First Folio offers an enjoyable romp through the universal concerns of the common man and woman - those nagging doubts and desires that lie behind the smiles and waves they roll out when royalty passes through town." Read Full Review
Daily Herald - Barbara Vitello
"... Nick Sandys's exuberant production... it's a delight.... Plenty of bluster and innuendo accompany the broadly comic performances, which suit perfectly the farcical tone established by Sandys."
Chicago Critic - Margaret Eva
"Sandys' attention to many period details enriches the whole feeling... pacing moves perfectly."
AroundTheTown.com - Michael Horn
"Director Nick Sandys has balanced this production with the right amount of physical gags and jokes to establish a tone that leads up to the spirit of reconciliation as all the parts of the tale play out. He has built the story and the characters without over stuffing them and keeps everything fun and under control....
This is a fun production that will keep you laughing and wondering what can happen next. Director Sandys has done an excellent job in maintaining the spirit of the playwright and could the setting be more marvelous?"
