I feel fired up! What a dramatic re-imagination is herein offered us!
—Richard Foreman
The literary Trick of the Year!
—Page 6, New York Post
I can’t quite believe “All The World’s A Grave”: Such an Original idea.
—Ian McKellen
An inspired bit of bricolage ... This “remix version” of Shakespeare proves fascinating and entertaining. Reed clearly loves the Bard. His pastiche contains many of Shakespeare’s best passages, which are always a delight to reread. More impressive, though, Reed fashions from this familiar material a story containing enough surprises to delight even those well versed in the Bard.
—Jack Helbig, Booklist
