By Ian Alexander Martin
"As the titular character, Elias Toufexis shows a stunning dexterity with the text..."

"Megan Morrison as Gertrude is an incredible surprise...Her portrayal of Hamlet's mother solely justifies the price of the ticket, the length of the show, the time it took you to find a parking place, the cost of a beer and probably a couple you buy for her as well."

"Naomi Lazarus works her usual wardrobe magic and seems to have been given enough of a budget to aquire the sufficient yards of luscious material and corseting to make everyone look as sexy and historically evocative as possible."
