“A defiant affirmation of life lies at the heart of this bold production…This polished, assured and charming company reminded me how much the pleasure of theater comes not just from the risk of live performance but also from its triumph when it works. This absolutely does…A Hamlet that confronts darkness and death, it ends with a dance party, not a stage full of corpses. Joyous revelry is this show’s choice. Never does it take life lightly.” —Laura Collins-Hughes, The New York Times

“Ebullient…exuberant…Teatro La Plaza’s radically inclusive production…[offers a] bracingly fresh way into the play…This classical theater in Brooklyn is [the touring cast’s] house now, their turf, and in the very act of claiming it as their own, they’re choosing to throw open the doors to everyone.” —Dan Rubins, TheaterMania
