Perry Tannenbaum wrote in his blog review in Creative Loafing - " ...All of the roles are fairly juicy here, and director Tom Hollis gets beautifully sustained performances from the two central antagonists. James K. Flynn is mighty and foxy when Henry is in the ascendant and wearily poignant when his family's treachery overwhelms him. On the other hand, Polly Adkins resurrects her venomous Bette Davis mode when she is most lethal as Eleanor, shuttling over to Vivien Leigh when she is broken. ... More importantly, these two vets nail every bon mot ...Remarkably transformed from his last outing in Rope, Justin Younts nicely captures the coiled reserve of the French monarch, while Poppy Pritchett succeeds in making Alais more than a pale ingénue opposite the majestic Eleanor. James Duke's lighting design... is spot-on for every mood, and Duke's set designs are the most impressive I've seen at Pease Auditorium since its renovation."

Miller as Richard, Matt Kenyon as Geoffrey, Ian Easterbrook as John, Poppy Pritchett as Alais and Justin Younts as Phillip. Stage direction by Tom Hollis.
