What people have to say about  Shakespeare’s Interactive Circus:

“The freshness and energy of the performance was invigorating and motivating. The kids are now very positive about Shakespeare and this was an excellent introduction to live performance.” – Holly Massie,Sir Wilfrid Laurier High School

“A Company of Fools is back in top form with this fun filled evening of creative confusion,energy,excitement and doing what they do best;dissecting Shakespeare into little pieces and then sticking him back together again in a way that would even amuse the bard himself. … Wild antics with a solid knowledge of Shakespearean performance theory are their trademark. … Time will rush by and you will not know what hit you.” – Alvina Ruprecht,CBC Radio 1
