Shakespeare's "King Phycus"

A fabulously funny evening of theater! The actors do a marvelous job of becoming many, many different hilarious characters, zipping through lightning fast costume changes and drawing from a huge palette of comedic accents and voice impediments. So much comedic talent on one stage is a delight NOT TO BE MISSED. Whether you are a Shakespeare devotee- or not, you will be laughing very, very, hard. Do come! Then get all your friends and come again!!... full review

If laughter is the best medicine, King Phycus is like penicillin. Solid ensemble work, with standout character performances by each member. Would watch again and again, as I was too busy laughing and I'm sure I missed some jokes. A lot of inside laughs for Shakespeare (and all theater) buffs, but easily accessible for any audience member. Definitely a must see. ... full review

Simply delightful! The show was filled with such silliness that you will leave the show with an equally as silly grin on your face! The show was a perfect way to end a long stressful weekend. Don't walk, but run to see this show! You'll not regret it! :) ... full review

An inspired Shakespeare mash up with 6 actors boldly portraying a cast of thousands. Word play meets physical gags, high comedy meets low, and the amazing cast is tireless as top notch direction keeps them racing around the giant Elephant Stages. Any show that works in parodies of The Music Man AND Abbott & Costello is OK with me. fringeblog.webs.com... full review

I had the pleasure of seeing Shakespeare's " King Phycus opening day. Which was a nice treat to get a wonderful sunny Saturday started in L.A. Each actor does a fantactic job. The ability to juggle with so many different story lines and characters was amazing. The comedic timing of each actor is impeccable, and their acting chops are on point. The whole play is full of love, betrayal and humor all balled in one. It's a good play. That will have you laughing the whole time. You wont regret it. ... full review

A delightful festival of the absurd! Cleanse your Fringe pallet with this healthy dose of silly fun, executed with expert precision by a group of talented performers. This show to me is the perfect example of one of the universal theatre truths: when the actors are having fun, so is the audience. Thank you for a fun night “King Phycus”!... full review

A great show. I laughed my buns off(and I mean earnestly laughed, not the fake laugh you do when something mildly amusing happens in real Shakespeare plays. You know the laugh you do so all the pompous jerks in audience don't think you're a hayseed). Anyhoo, check this play out its a great time.... full review

King Phycus is the funniest performance I've seen in any medium in years! I'm going to see it again.... full review

"King Phycus" was vibrant, polished, and laugh-out-loud funny. The troop (do we still call them troops? troupes?) ...of actors were relentlessly good: subtle nuances, big death-scenes, hopping in unison while spouting verse, costume changes, accent changes, fight choreography, victorian conflicts, love, death, betrayal, ghosts, that nurse costume(!)... This show was a spectacle; expertly crafted and easily enjoyed. ... full review

The cast were all excellent and clearly right for performing (or goofing around with) Shakespeare's works. Having directed and/or performed in the plays they spoofed, I really got a kick out of the mix-ups and zany way of blending the plays without causing too much confusion. Especially loved Hamlet & Juliet, Richard III, poor old King Lear and the scheming Romans. The Thriller finale was a bonus! Congrats to All.
