Reviews

Josette is “wonderfully played by Uma Incrocci… Staged with Pop Art panache.”
- The Village Voice

“Almost unbearably funny… Josette masters the world in a mind-popping display of verbal hide-and-seek.”
- The New York Times

“Uma Incrocci’s Miranda takes on a Carol Burnett-like sensibility with her giggly laugh and uninhibited attraction to Ferdinand.”
- Backstage

“Miranda’s goofy attraction to Ferdinand is charming and real…the best spoken and acted Shakespearean troupe this side of the Atlantic.”
–The Off -Off Broadway Review

“Peter Bean and Uma Incrocci are hilarious as, respectively, the only man who fully understands Ptydepe and the woman who thinks that's hot.”
–nytheatre.com

  “Josette is charmingly played by a puppet, operated by Uma Incrocci. The small cast of actors is excellent. Uma Incrocci is a gifted puppeteer…It's quite an assembly of talent, including the first-rate puppetry.” 
– Curtain Up.com

 “Incrocci's extra head is another example of puppetry executed with charm and style."
– Show Business Weekly

“Also radiant is Uma Incrocci as the demure Rosemary, lending an eyelash-batting, sweet, twittery quality to the character. One of the funniest physical moments in the play is the hero’s vain, flamboyant tango with her.”
– The Press Democrat
