"Dave Horak gives a great deal of humanity to all his characters at the same time he is quite silly. That is a rare gift." nytheatre.com
"Horak is superb in the role of a broken down entertainer. His wide-eyed delivery and go-for-broke acting deftly carries the play from absurd to affecting. Clad in a little boy's sailor costume, by the time Baby Fourstrings hits his cuckoo crescendo, the sweat off Horak's head has made his Raggedy Andy makeup bleed into something resembling war paint." Edmonton Sun
"I was much taken with Dave Horak’s performance as the Fool, whom he plays as an acidic, fearless, capering comic whose worst suspicions are always being confirmed. His relationship with Lear bristles with the sense of his dual existence as Lear’s conscience and critic." Edmonton Journal
"Dave Horak, apple-cheeked and chipper in a sailor suit, delivering — with mesmerizing energy, precision, and brio — all entertainment." Edmonton Journal
