Critical Response
“Despite the confounding plot and gruesome murder, the cast all has moment to shine. . . . Johnny Lee Davenport wields yoga against the elements as the exiled royal.”
—Carl F. Gauze, Archikulture Digest (February 12, 2012)
“Special note must be made of Hering, whose Queen combines Maleficent’s iciness with Ursula’s dramatic flair, and of Johnny Lee Davenport, authoritative in several roles, including a toga-clad Jupiter, the show’s literal deus ex machina.”
—Seth Kubersky, Orlando Weekly (February 16, 2012)
We loved seeing our friend Johnny Lee Davenport in Cymbeline this evening!
