REVIEWS
““[Alan] Paul, whose work has emerged on the city’s biggest stages, has a showbiz aesthetic that’s refreshing”
“Paul is a master of pacing who understands that the farcical complications have to fly past, while the more serious moments—there are some—need more deliberate handling”
“Paul’s production keeps Shakespeare’s original language intact and inserts original songs at regular intervals, giving the already zany show some extra oomph”
“The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s musically inclined The Comedy of Errors, is funny, cute, and just the ticket in these difficult times. With a vibe part Monty Python, part Zorba the Greek, and aesthetically reminiscent of Herge’s Adventures of Tintin, director Alan Paul creates a perfect, cheerful moment for Shakespeare’s tale of long-lost twins and their inevitable mix-ups”
“GUT-BUSTING…Alan Paul’s deft direction supplies some of the finest comedic moments of the D.C. theater season.”
“EXCELLENT…[Alan] Paul’s production is heaps of fun.”
