CRITICS PICK!
"Is it chance or synchronicity that brings Bernhardt/Hamlet, a muscular comedy about a woman unbound, to Broadway at this grim transitional moment in gender politics?… So clever it uplifts, so timely it hurts… A deluxe Roundabout Theater Company production, is breakneck backstage comedy, swiveling among scenes of romance, Rialto gossip, rehearsal drollery and literary exploration… One of the most thrilling endings Ive seen in years… Bernhardt/Hamlet, directed with wit and verve by Moritz von Stuelpnagel, is a deep-inside love letter to the theater as a kind of laboratory in which experiments in both art and equality are possible."

"Lively, weaponized, and richly caustic… a fascinating reminder that before any social change becomes mainstream, someone has to be a pioneer, and that someone often twists painfully in a storm until there’s enough supportive wind beneath her wings."

"A bright, lushly executed showpiece… when Janet McTeer strides in, she… crackles with the vitality, sensuality, and flytrap wit of a genuinely lived-in diva."

"Whatever combination of passion, narcissism and bravery swirl to form an actors decision to tackle Hamlet must merit a spot in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Short of that, we will have to rely on the wondrous Janet McTeers star turn in Theresa Rebecks spirited, funny new play Bernhardt/Hamlet to guide us up theaters Mount Everest."

"Under Moritz von Stuelpnagels tightly choreographed direction, this solid cast of characters encircle Bernhardt like planets following their star. And blazing stars they certainly are!"

"Theresa Rebeck knows how to tell a great story… Under Moritz von Stuelpnagels sumptuous direction and production, the material delivers… McTeers Bernhardt continues to dominate with sparkling retorts… Bernhardt/Hamlet deserves to be seen twice and revived often."

"As soon as the lights go up and she begins soliloquizing, we are immediately, completely, utterly, spellbound… The audience will gasp!"
