Bikini Shakespeare: Much Ado About Nothing at Gorilla Tango Theatre

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"... Director Katie Horwitz goes beyond the easy bits—like a famous line about being "sunburnt" in love—to find clever ways of exploiting her beach setting and scant costuming (the men wear Speedos). Her svelte 60-minute adaptation ends before the joke wears down, and Gabe Beutel-Gunn and Katie Utterback sizzle as romantic sparring partners Benedick and Beatrice. The costuming has a downside, though: it's difficult to tell which role the double-cast actors are playing at any given time."

Centerstage - Recommended

"... Gorilla Tango has found a way to distinguish itself from other sketch and improv venues by gradually and quietly transforming into a House of Boobs. Their in-house Shakespeare production naturally bears their stamp by having its cast decked out in swimsuits. As adapted and directed by Katie Horwitz, this turns out to be a fine idea. What’s really important about this play is its sense of fun. As is often the case, we’ve got two couples. The first lover is Claudio (Nate Bursma) the young war veteran smitten with Hero (Monica Learch)."
