“This Arkangel production is superb in bringing to life and laughter a bawdy, hilarious tale of mistaken identities and misadventures. Underlying the witty dialogue is an offbeat, bright, and bouncy musical score (piano and xylophone), punctuated by unexpected bursts of rib-tickling but authentic sound effects. Outstanding performances are given by David Tennant, Brendan Coyle, Jason O’Mara, and Alan Cox, but the kudos go to Helen Ryan, who portrays the wicked Abbess, a performance not to be missed…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
