"...I highly recommend The Devil's Bride and Theatre Unleashed. Go and be reminded why Will Shakespeare was so bloody good...it's the timeless and totally relatable characters and how they connect to each other, not just the glorious language and wacky storylines. And Theatre Unleashed has fully and wonderfully brought these revived characters to life."

"...Simply put, TU's The Devil's Bride elevates Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing and rehabilitates a memorable character into an unforgettable one."

"...Fortunately, all the leads in this play are well up to the challenge, up to an including Duke Leonato (Steve Peterson). All throughout what might easily have been nothing more than an intellectual exercise for Shakespeare geeks (like myself) rises to an actual drama. I will frankly say Lappin and Cortez steal the entire show, as it should be since they are the title characters and the pole around which everything turns. Lappin has turned in many a fine comedic performance before now, and I'm thrilled to see her (as I have longed for) do drama. The genuine torment of her Allegra proved fascinating to watch, as was Cortez's turn as a would-be villain who in fact turns out to be rather un-villainous at second or third or fourth glance. That he remains tormented by his late first wife Marisol (Molly Moran), so much so she appears to taunt him, could be cloying but remains instead a window into his man's soul."

"...It will be a good thing for Silsby to keep on writing plays. And a very good thing for Theatre Unleashed to keep on finding and performing them."
