“On Kevin Griffith's austere set in UNO's large theater, graduate student Ryan M. Decker's inventive direction and Diane K Baas' punchy lighting illuminated The Royale by Marco Ramirez... a powerful John Charles II, impressively supported by James Compton V and Shanda Quintal... The Royale provided an absorbing, invigorating theatrical experience." - Brian Sands, Ambush Magazine
