"If he thought parting was sweet sorrow, just wait'll he experiences the tragedy of being reunited. The Bard is back, as he must confront the ghosts of his literary past- including Macbeth, the Witches, Richard III, Hamlet's Ghost, and Caliban- as guests enjoy a uniquely interactive Shakespearean scare presented by The Faux-Real Theatre Co."
-Big Apple Parent, October 2000
"The experience gave a whole new meaning to lines like 'Let us bathe our hands in Caesar's blood.' My 4 year-old son loved it."
-The New York Times, October 1999
"This annual, ghoulish fright-night event scares up fun for kids and adults. Plus, it's educational -- now that's really scary!"
-Digital City, October 2001
"In Shakespeare's Haunted House, Faux-Reale's annual Halloween show, all the scariest scenes from Shakespeare (the ones with ghosts, monsters, witches, and murderers) are re-created by the troupe, with the audience passing through them. The operative word at these productions is "carnival." They're a kind of medieval marketplace, where any second a new and bawdy surprise might pop up."
-The Village Voice, Week of July 26 - August 1, 2000
"Whether it's Ophelia from 'Hamlet' in a show-stopping dead faint, the Third Witch from 'Macbeth' with eyes demonically engorged, or Richard III in the tragic throes, the actors are almost frighteninly possessed by real and impressive powers of concentration."
