Critic Reviews:
“Jason Vaughn in his Jacksonville debut is a marvelous Hamlet, who even looks like the legendary Barrymore. He has an impressive resume, which includes Shakespearean roles at the Globe in London and the Botanics in Glasgow. Barrymore’s role now is to coach Andrew, which includes impressive sword play.”
— Dick Kerekes & Leisla Sansom

“Jason Vaughn a suitably sinister Claudius; in a production that, at all the key moments, simply grasps Shakespeare’s great text and lets it lead the actors into the heart of the drama, reveling in its rhythms, its strength, and its unforgettable imagery, which soars out on the evening air like a force of nature in its own right.”

“Jason Vaughn as Macduff presents an especially fine moment, first grief, then resolve, when he hears of the slaughter of his family.”
— Sally Carpenter
