"The cast trace the lineaments of evil with chilling efficiency...Amy E. Harmons stiff-necked, laser-eyed intensity as Macduff makes the good soldiers breakdown upon hearing of his familys slaughter even more piteous...Stubbs also wins points not only for her fiery Lady Macduff, but for her comically intoxicated porter..." -Kery Reid, Chicago Reader

"Scenes that have always seemed false came to life... With Kathrynne Wolf in the title role and at the helm of a talented group of women, the gender switch to female was a complete non-issue. In fact, Wolf and Nika Ericson as Lady Macbeth had such wonderful chemistry and skill I found them to be one of the most compelling Macbeth couples I've seen" -MGEIGNER, Chicago Theatre Reviews

"The stellar cast beckon the stark and ravaging forces of paranoia that encompass several of the characters' ultimate demises... With luminous, corrosive clarity, Babes With Blades proves that you don't need to be a man to shake up Shakespeare; you just need a big enough sword. And indeed, it's about time someone brought new meaning to the phrase "girl-on-girl action."
