The How and the Why
Shakespeare and Company
Bernstein Theatre
May 30 to July 26, 2015
Named one of "Top Ten Productions of the Season" by the Berkshire Eagle, 2015
"... the questions of life are about to go on display in a two-plus hour riveting performance that is as fabulous as a play can get. Yes, this work is that good." - Did You Weekend
"The play and the acting are beyond the beyond, a magical tour de force." - The Berkshire Edge
"...a flawlessly acted, deeply profound and haunting production." - The Berkshire Eagle
"Ricciardi went on to professional training at Carnegie Mellon and now is based in New York but has returned to home turf to helm this production. Every word lands, and the tempos of the verbal exchanges have the variety and liveliness of real speech." - BroadwayWorld.com
"As directed with deftness and an eye for dramatic arcs by Nicole Ricciardi, the production is perfectly suited to the intimacy of Shakespeare & Company’s Bernstein Theatre; you luxuriate in the pleasure of being so close to expert acting." - The Times Union
"...director Nicole Ricciardi has made the most of what’s available, giving life to these fractious, fragmented characters and playing out their conflicts both emotionally and, as they move around the stage, in an effective physical manner." - Metroland
