What Are People Saying about the Mechanicals?

 

See our great write-up in the Pottstown Mercury!  They even shot a video, which you can find here.

 

[I saw] a humorous rendition of Hamlet done by the Mad Mechanicals, a troupe of actors who did a great job of combining the playwright’s words with modern interjections and threw around rubber chickens and tankards of water.

[I] was involved in a random act of "Beowulf"
playing the other half, or should I say 'miming' since
I had lost my voice, of the Two-Headed Monster at the
very last Halloween and Spooky Knights at the 2005
PARF.  Even without having a voice, I enjoyed being a
part of the Mad Mechanicals. I am a big fan of the Mad
Mechanicals and especially enjoy Random Acts of
Shakespeare.

I thoroughly enjoyed your comedics at this season's Pa. Ren. Faire.  I have come to know you all and to anticipate laughter all around you.

I laughed so hard I hurt myself.

Just wanted to say that I saw you perform at the PA Ren Faire yesterday and
thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for the laughs!

We've just returned home from the Faire.  We very much enjoyed your interpretations of the Bard's works and Robin Hood was fun, too.  All your audience members who participated in the Robin Hood production did such a great job in their roles.  Our hats off to you for a great last show of our day in the Shire!

 

Our Faire favorites used to be [two very successful performers], now it's you guys.

First Bravo on a wonderful performance.  We were the family that you performed to all alone in the gazebo…Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for making such a wonderful memory for my family.  I envy you your opportunity to have such fun while working!…[Y]our work would be a great way to make the classics somewhat "fun" for jaded teenagers…Our time with you was a highlight of a delightful day at the Faire!
