Reception
Bob Verini of Variety said the play "is overlong and not as consistently funny as it wants to be, largely because of the troupe's habit of site-specific name-dropping as a substitute for wit."[2]
Tony Taccone, artistic director of the Berkeley Repertory Theatre described Zorro in Hell as a "bold piece of agitational propaganda" in a world capable of change. Taccone also analyzed the protagonist's humanity and role as a professional Fool.[3]
Anne Marie Welsh of the San Diego Union-Tribune discussed the play's development in California's political climate in 2003.[4] Welsh notes that Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected Governor of California in 2003.
