REVIEWS
"captivating and exceptional"
"This "Comedy" [...] doesn't focus on those who assume — usually wrongly — that they know the score. Instead, Hoffmann affectionately and even tenderly spotlights those characters who are themselves misunderstood, wrongly placed on the map of others' misreadings. The resulting comedy is therefore richer, while the play's final reconciliation is deeper and more satisfying."
"Under Leda Hoffmann's intelligent and sure direction, the farcical exits and entrances required to make all this work are exquisitely timed and executed — all the more impressive given the nearly bare Door Shakes stage, in which various pathways through the scenic Björklunden gardens substitute for slamming doors."

- Mike Fisher, Journal Sentinel

"Comedy of Errors has a tenor and tone of great humor, with lines and jokes that sneak up on you. You find yourself smiling, then chuckling and then laughing out loud. Leda Hoffmann, a young Milwaukee director, leaves her imprint on the play with clear language and with every single laugh in the script. It's a rare achievement for any director, especially a young one. She guides her cast with a steady hand but doesn't restrict the actors' freedom to play."
