Union Tribune (Jim Hebert)

“Intrepid Shakespeare Co., a new troupe has tuned into the spook-itude and insomnia of “the Scottish play”

“it’s a competent, coherent and at times transporting read on the play.”

“As Lady Macbeth, Yael first appears with a letter from her warrior husband in hand, reading with rapt, almost salacious pleasure. Near the end — in a clever textual shift — she's reading from the same letter, but has become a raving wraith, a beautiful ruin wailing like an apparition. It's a visceral performance. “

“Cox is a stolid, confident Macbeth at the outset, and has latched onto a convincing physical vocacbulary – eye tics, reflexive glances at the hands – to convey the character’s slow spiral into paranoia and bloodlust.”

“Jesse MacKinnon adds solemn gravity as Macduff, and Mark C. Petrich brings some (welcome) comic relief as a wisecracking porter. Good turns by Danny Campbell (Rosse), Jason Maddy (Malcolm) and Eddie Yaroch (Banquo) round out the piece, co-directed by Cox and Jason D. Rennie.”

 “Sean Cox and Christy Yael bring heat as the murderously ambitious Mcb’s”

“There are some vicious, intense and sexy moments.”

“sensual”

City Beat (Martin Jones Westlin)

“You’ll love Intrepid’s smart Macbeth”

“Their youthful exuberance and modernist trappings speak to the theme’s universal applications.”

“I found Intrepid’s turn remarkably smart and it left me wondering what they’ll do for an encore.”

“Yael’s “Out, damn spot” speech is a model of subtlety, and co-director Cox is masterful amid Macbeth’s capitulation.”

“Great to have these folks among the city’s young and hungry companies, and I look forward to more.”

San Diego Theatre Scene (Jenni Prisk)

“Yael delivers Shakespeare as though it were her native tongue and shows us a woman seething with a desire for power.”

“Jason D. Rennie and Sean Cox have taken a courageous directorial stand”

“Jonathan McMurtry provided textual advice and guidance and it shows.”

San Diego Reader (Jeff Smith)

“Cox delivers, as does Christy Yael as Lady M.”

“Mark C. Petrich’s funny porter provides comic relief”
