Note – As a university production, this play did not receive public press.
“(A) wonderful production (and) a splendid success by any measure….the freshest version of the play I have ever experienced….a result, I think, of the combined heart, humor, and
intellectual curiosity that drove each scene and each character. Rigorous storytelling….exceptional. (The) actors’ work on stage was relaxed, present, appropriately
energized, and beautifully spoken. I couldn’t ask for more!
– Ralph Zito, Chair, Syracuse University Conservatory Theater Program
I appreciated the time Will spent doing table work….and his meticulous attention to the text. He inspired our students to dig into the language and to love it. I also appreciated his easy collaboration – he was very clear about what he wanted the actors to accomplish….and was also always open to my notes and thoughts. It was a delightful production and a rewarding process throughout.
