North Coast Rep’s ‘Beau Jest’ an amusing rom-com. The production has a terrific director, Omri Schein, who keeps the momentum building and the laugh-out-loud moments frequent. The six actors in this farcical rom-com are united in their performance style and improvisational tone...An entertaining new production.
- The San Diego Union Tribune
Do-not-miss North Coast Rep's latest play, Beau Jest, as seeing the two hilarious dinner scenes alone in Act I are worth the price of admission in this delightfully funny romantic comedy about family relationships, communication, honesty and of course love.
- The Vista Press/The North County Daily Star
Beau Jest is a warm kitchen on a Friday night. It is silly, swoony, and transportive in the way the genre is meant to be. Director Omri Schein builds a small miracle of ensemble dynamics. This superb cast doesn’t just work together; they combust in sync. A love story can be soft and still cut right to the heart, and this one does.
- Vanguard Culture
Fun and energetic, with relatable moments and a nice reflection on love, family, and following your heart. It is definitely a nice time out at the theatre with friends, spouses, family, et al.
- From Another Zero
Plenty of laughs and genuine feeling power this crowd-pleasing production. I don’t recall many audiences who seemed so anxious to stand up and cheer the performers the moment the play ended.
