The Beat Magazine’s Jo-Anne Elizabeth Bishop reviews Banished By The King Productions' The Family Creetin, now playing at the Palace Theatre's Procunier Hall until April 25th.

“A sharp, funny, and well-played ensemble comedy that proves local theatre can punch well above its weight. It is busy at times, but consistently entertaining, and the kind of show that makes you hope someone is already planning the encore,” she writes.
