REVIEWS

"Everyone will leave convinced the English-speaking world's greatest playwright is a hoax ... witty and compelling show." Winnipeg Free Press


"Cutler rakes Shakespeare over the coals in this magnificently witty performance." Winnipeg Sun


"In his adaptation of Mark Twain's Is Shakespeare Dead?, Keir Cutler seeks to debunk the myth that William Shakespeare wrote the plays attributed to him. Cutler presents Twain's compelling claim as though it were the closing argument at a trial, weaving humour and logic into an enjoyable feat of rhetorical sleight of hand that will have even the most devout Stratfordians reconsidering the authority of their idol. The result is a highly entertaining and engrossing 45-minute performance that accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do, leaving its audience members in rapt debate, rushing home to check their reference books." EYE Weekly


"Cutler humorously distills Twain's thesis that Shakespeare didn't actually write the great works attributed to him. It's a compelling argument . . . to great comic effect. . . . Cutler gives a strong and entertaining performance!" Orlando Sentinel


"Keir Cutler is offering one of the smartest, most thought-provoking shows . . . one of the few must-sees of the festival. And though Cutler skewers Shakespeare the man, itŐs to his credit that he fully embraces the canon." Orlando Weekly.
