"After a few initial stumbles, the cast find their feet in Shakespeare's pastoral comedy about a group of young people who somehow manage to combine being banished into exile with falling in love. The untiring cast maintain momentum throughout. Olivia Scott-Taylor's exuberant Celia very nearly upstages her best friend and fellow exile, principal girl Rosalind, played by Rebecca Loudon. Scott-Taylor speaks Shakespearean English as if it were her mother tongue. But Loudon also grows into her role, ultimately exuding all the confidence necessary of the strong-minded cross-dressing lead. The stand-out performance comes from James Hayward, who plays three different parts with attentive focus and faultless speech throughout."  ~ Grace Holliday, Time Out London, 10 May 2012, in Theatre Record 2012, Issue 9
