Praise for Audrey and Le Beau in As You Like It
“Touchstone (David Melville) and oddball goatherd Audrey (Daisy Tichenor) steal the show with their passionate love and freaky turn-ons (exactly what Shakespeare would have wanted!)” Larchmont Buzz
“Among the many highlights are Jacqueline Misaye nailing the lovelorn cross-dressing Rosalind, William Elsman bringing intriguing dimension to the melancholy Jacques and especially Daisy Tichenor making a banquet out of the adorable simple goatherd, Audrey.” Broadway World
“Le Beau, by the way, is particularly funny as she gets excited when speaking of broken ribs. In the text, the character is male, but changing the gender adds more humor to that speech and others. And besides, Daisy Tichenor is excellent in the role.” Mostly Shakespeare
