There’s no need to be intimidated by the use of Shakespeare’s language for Ashton is clearly a master of it. She cleverly weaves modern phrases into the style of Elizabethan speech with precise comic timing, and hides lines ripped straight from Shakespeare throughout this new text. Every line is clear and each character is distinct – which is saying something, considering Ashton brings to life no less than thirteen over the course of the story. - Theatrescenes

This is a well-crafted and deftly performed production of a witty and intelligent show. I very much appreciate the skilful use of Shakespearean material throughout, and am very keen to see what literary genre Ashton decides to tackle next. This is definitely an Elizabethan show, and it is a pleasure to frolic through it with Penny Ashton as a witty and knowledgeable guide. - Theatreview
