ESTABLISHED APRIL 2012

The all-female Shakespeare company.
I can't wait to see what this company come up with next...
Robbie CarnegieBuxton Fringe Review
Enormously entertaining... one of the strongest ensemble casts I've seen at the Fringe.
Kevin SherwinBroadway World
One of the most stunning Shakespeare tragedies I’ve ever seen!
Annie RutherfordCafe Babel
Superlative understanding of the language, a well-oiled elegance of staging and interaction, original, intelligent and gregarious humour – all delivered with a slick energy, a deeply professional confidence and array of talent.
Victoria SauronDigg Yorkshire
Keeping audience members on the edge of their seats through both laughter and horror... fast, fresh, furious and funny!
Danielle FarrowEdinburgh Spotlight
The total femaleness of this riff on Shakespeare’s first tragedy not only works wonderfully, but is totally integral to its conception. It’s a slick and farcically funny production that exudes self-aware theatricality and, of course, buckets of blood!
Billy BarretExeunt Magazine
Quick-fire, taut and unremitting... Keep your eyes open for Smooth Faced Gentlemen — they will do great things. They already are.
Stephen WatkinsStudent Journals
The real strength of this universally strong ensemble lies in their masterful command of the language, finding the nuances and oft-forgotten humour... Funny, ferocious, creative, and brilliantly performed!
Kayleigh DonaldsonThe Skinny
A whirlwind riot of innovation!
Steve ShooterYork Mix
