REVIEWS
"Seeing Bronzehead’s Henry IV is like a fresh breeze reminding one of the magic of tavern storytelling, music and community of old that has long since disappeared." - One and Other Magazine
"Tom Straszewski's cast of five experienced hands performs Parts 1 and 2 of Shakespeare’s history play in a condensed performance, divided into three acts, Rebels All, The March To War and Making Peace, that make demands of their vocal, physical theatre, singing and musical skills, as well as their elan at interacting with a close-up audience." - York Press
