Review Excerpts

“’AS YOU LIKE IT’ A LAUGH-GETTER AT ARENA….Arena’s As You Like It is catching throughout, with Randy Kim’s Touchstone and Robert Patterson’s Jaques so good they make you shiver, a description any seasoned theatre-goer will grasp at once….Shakespeare’s clowns, with their wit and nonsense and puns and subtle syllogisms become more and more difficult to portray every year, as the language, learning, and memories of the English-speaking world alter. Randy Kim invests each line with inescapable meaning, with a grin, a lifted eyebrow, a gesture of the hands, or an action quick and clear as a good charade. He’s a quicksilver Touchstone.”
               –Ruth W. Page, SUBURBAN LIST (8/3/1972) 

“Like to Rosalind in wit is Touchstone, the court jester. Unable to leave his wits behind at court, he engages in duels of words with whoever is game….Randy Kim seems altogether in control of any role….”
               –Jennifer Kochman, VERMONT FREEMAN (8/1972)
