“One of the successes of the production is the relationship between the Fool and Lear. David Girard does not force the relationship as he is content with observing and wisely commenting on Lear’s behavior…
THE BOND BETWEEN THE TWO IS ONE OF THE MORE GENUINE CONNECTIONS IN THE PRODUCTION…”
Bob Goepfert, The Saratogian
“[the] relationship, between Opitz and Girard, as Lear and the Fool, is deeply familial if not actually linked by blood; the actors have worked together for a long time, know one another well, and it's abundantly evident in their scenes together.”
Steve Barnes, The Times Union
