"Under the ever-astute direction of Matt Walker, what emerges is surprisingly solid Shakespeare, delivered with a twinkle and an occasional guffaw.”

“The somber saga builds to Walker’s showstopping rendition of ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’, enhanced by Jeremy Pivnick’s elegant lighting design…the entire cast can sing, harmonize and dance exquisitely.”

“The trajectory of Leontes’ personal tragedy is handled with a rare finesse here. Walker, who…is a superb clown, proves that he can also portray real anguish – the tragic clown, if you will...Cudos to the adroit comic performance of Valenzuela’s other role as Leontes’ jolly son Mamilius, to Katherine Malak’s beautiful singing voice as Perdita, to the dancing and physical comedy of the ensemble, and to the hot Troubie band, led by Eric Heinly. A Wither’s Tale is a nice change of pace for the Troubadour Company…”

“Bill Withers’ soulful, heart-felt songs perfectly enhance the play’s plot and character…As always, Walker is fascinating as Leontes and hilarious as the Clown. Equally powerful as Paulina, Troubie veteran Bethe Kennedy also provides many belly laughs as the Shepherd with her flock of one lamb…this is one terrific show. Another triumph for the Troubies not to be missed!”

"Matt Walker leads an astounding ensemble and proves once and for all just how intensely versatile an actor he really is...This is a stellar evening of theatre with one great surprise that proves the Troubies rise to any occasion. The quintessential acting troupe...they are once again in rare form!"
