"Karina Richardson...also played a fiery, spellbinding Mercutio, giving a physically charged-up reading to the famous Queen Mab speech that was easy to imagine impressing Percy Shelley—or even Shakespeare himself."
-Charles Donelan, Santa Barbara Independent
"As played by Richardson, Ms. Wilkes is shrill and fantastically narcissistic."
-Elizabeth Schwyzer, Santa Barbara Independent
"It's a generous and wise choice, and one that supports and does credit to the story that is being told as well as to the other performers, such as Sophia Bushong as the wise old parrot Oma and Karina Richardson as the languid Bed of Despair, who bring Derman's rich universe to life."
