"Eric Hissom, well-known for his masterful performances, brings us a Menenius full of ruefulness, sarcasm, and fatherly affection. When Coriolanus harangues the mob, Menenius becomes a kind of James Carville of the ancient world, desperately attempting to help the candidate measure up."

-Sophia Howles, DC Theater Arts

"​Eric Hissom ​is very good as the senator Menenius Agrippa in explaining the dilemma, particularly in the famous “stomach” speech that describes the strata of an early democracy.." 

-Roger Catlin, Broadway World
