"Philip King's See How They Run may not be as well-known of a comedy as some of its counterparts, but in the hands of Hale Centre Theatre it blossoms into a riotous farce with impeccable timing, stellar physical comedy, and an abundance of laughs that continually build once the hilarity of the plot is known. Set against the backdrop of a small British village during World War II, Hale's production has a fantastic cast who expertly navigate the intricate challenges of farce with finesse, delivering an evening of madcap hilarity and mistaken identities....Under Tim Dietlein's astute direction, the ensemble cast shines. Gracie Gamble and Josh Hunt work well together as Penelope and Clive, delivering delightful performances that capture the eccentricities of their characters. Ivana Martinic, J. Kevin Tallent, and Cameron Rollins add to the hilarity as Miss Skillon, the Bishop, and Lionel, respectively....The play takes a short while to set the stage, but once the comedic onslaught begins, it doesn't let up. Dietlein's direction ensures a well-oiled production that captivates with its lunacy, derives some big laughs from the audience, and results in a testament to the enduring appeal of farce."  - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
