Review: TROUBLE IN MIND at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
by Ana-Brit Asplen
- May 26, 2023
Trouble in Mind made its Broadway premiere in 2021, 66 years after it was produced off-Broadway at Greenwich Mews Theatre. Cincinnati Shakespeare Company is known for its unique takes on classic stories and reviving them for a fresh audience, and this play is no exception.

Manipulative tactics are used strategically by the characters, performative allyships are shattered, and false dignity is stripped for raw truth.
