Reviews

"Lynn and Ahlin wonderfully render what’s possibly one of the cruelest scenes in all Shakespeare, a sobering conclusion to the spirited escapades that preceded it."

- Kiran Pandey, Broad Street Review

"The actors in the 2023 "Complete Works" are imaginative, fearless and incredible.
Eli Lynn is an actor of a thousand voices and guises, convincingly, seamlessly and quickly moving from one to the next."

- Lehigh Valley Press

"I haven’t read this play, but I imagine the most frequent stage direction is: “Mayhem ensues.” And it does, especially when Lynn’s fight choreography takes over the second act for a spectacular and hilarious battle."

- Philadelphia Inquirer

"Surely, I am not the only audience member who wants to marry the ensemble that created these two “What You Will” plays; I could watch them do every production I see for the rest of my life."
