Reviews
"It is a tour-de-force performance, riveting and absolutely accessible." - Toby Zinman, Philadelphia Inquirer
"What matters is Hodge’s execution, deeply considered and a tour-de-force." - Howie Shapiro, Newsworks
"As indicated by Phindie’s 2014 Critics’ Awards, the Philadelphia Artists’ Collective is one of the most consistently excellent independent theater companies in the city. Hodge captures this humanity of the characters along with the beauty of the verse." -Christopher Munden, Phindie.com
"Philadelphia audiences are still buzzing about his performance of Shakespeare’s The Rape of Lucrece. PAC’s production received some of the most outstanding reviews of the 2014 Philadelphia Fringe Festival and was voted by The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Toby Zinman as the best performance." -Henrik Eger, Feature Article on Phindie.com
"The performance itself, in which Hodge plays the narrator and at least a half-dozen characters including the doomed Lucrece, is the sort of bravura, visceral acting that makes you want to grab the lapels of friends who care about theater and shout Hodge’s praises until they agree to see it. It’s that good — among the best I’ve seen all year." -Steve Barnes, Albany Times-Union
