REVIEWS:
"Four Stars":"... scintillating, smart — and surprisingly touching... Sandys’ production zigs and zags between well-placed shots to the brain and the funny bone like a pinball machine teetering at the top of the Matterhorn.”
– Chicago Tribune, Kerry Reid's "Top Ten Best of 2015"
“... a spectacular Remy Bumppo production... The actors are bedazzling, one and all... completely buoyant”
Chicago Sun-Times
"Remy Bumppo Theatre aces Tom Stoppard's test with Travesties... a deeply smart, wildly energetic, neatly choreographed, often hilarious new production from Remy Bumppo Theatre. The whole company is delightful under Nick Sandys's direction."
Chicago Reader "Top Shows of 2015"
"...The results are appropriately dazzling, with densely layered puns, parodies and literary references ( Did I mention whole scenes composed in serial limericks or lyrics to vaudeville songs? ), creating an intellectual vertigo capable of reducing even seasoned professionals to the stumbling mumbles in a matter of minutes. Fortunately, Remy Bumppo director Nick Sandys has drilled his cast to the agility and stamina of Olympic cross-country racers."

"Director Nick Sandys' cunningly correct Remy Bumppo revival maintains perfect pitch and tempo throughout, going over the top (a proper World War I reference) only when authorized. Fast and furious, it's also fun."
