reviews
GO!
Stehlin (who also directs) renders a superb performance, investing the character with equal parts cunning, glacial detachment and simple human fragility. Equally commanding are Groenwald's voluble, emotionally intense Cassius and Scott Sheldon's dignified and loyal Marc Antony. This is a lean, well managed production with the rest of the large cast turning in good performances in multiple roles."
Lovell Estell III - LA Weekly
"Stehlin's gender-bending, bracingly contemporary staging sets a high-water mark
for cogency, bristling with the rich emotional subtexts that render
Shakespeare’s text all the more accessible. "
F. Kathleen Foley- Los Angeles Times
"Here, a chamber version captures the story’s expanse while feeling immediate, near,
and unfortunately modern. Add in the casting of women in traditionally male roles,
modern-day business attire, and non-declamatory performances, and the production plays like an Aaron Sorkin series."
Dany Margolies - ArtsinLA.com
"I think I can promise that there is a revelation waiting for you
down at The New American Theatre"
Madeleine Shaner, Park Labrea News/Beverly Press
"at The New American Theatre, [Jack] Stehlin’s production would be my choice for someone
who wants to see Shakespeare."
