Check out nytheatre.com's super review of PARANG SABIL:

Well, the buzz has been good, tickets are hot, and it looks like the run of KING LEAR at the Folger has been extended. Woo! This means Ken will be in Washington through Sunday February 25 - a week later than originally scheduled. Until then, he's available by phone or e-mail (including virtual sessions), and will still be in New York one day a week - Mondays - for in-person teaching and coaching. If you need coaching this month, please try to book early, as the Mondays fill quickly. Thanks all!

Hometown papers! The Washington Post says :

"The other performances are merely serviceable - except for Ken Schatz's remarkable Fool... This Fool not only has all his wits about him but also seems to respond to Lear's on an instinctive level. It's as if he truly were a facet of the king's psyche."

Bob Mondello in City Paper: "Ken Schatz’s Fool is such an insinuating delight that your heart sinks when Lear..." (Spoiler Alert!)

Reviews are up! The New York Times says Ken is "simply superb":
