“…Kime delivers a stellar, albeit shocking, performance. There is an unrelenting torrent of pathos that accompany his character, things you feel for him, things you feel because of him, things you feel in spite of him; they all come to a head…”
Crusade @ Rapid Lemon Productions, 2019
The Washington Post
“…hugely entertaining…for whom the term ‘puckish’ may have been coined”
The Margriad @ Avant Bard, 2025
Selected Reviews
DC Theatre Arts
“As Romeo, Stephen Kime exudes power: physically, vocally, and emotionally. He’s most enjoyable in the moments when he feels the love of the character.”
Only Love: A Fresh Cut of Romeo and Juliet @ Capital Fringe, 2023
DC Theatre Arts
“…visceral, unnerving performances that catch your attention and hold onto it.”
Frankenstein @ NextStop, 2022
