Incredible Immediacy in Crucial Roles

“The ensemble is cohesive to a significant degree, something that shouldn’t be taken for granted, especially after the uneven nature of last year’s Festival Theatre King Lear. A chipper, bright-eyed [Vanessa] Sears and an earnest, low-key Jonathan Mason (as Romeo) are reliable as the production’s anchors, helping to ground the scenes they’re in, but it’s the urgency of the side players’ performances that really demonstrates White’s skill for directing actors: John Kirkpatrick (as Friar John) and Nick Dolan (as Prince Escalus), in particular, find incredible immediacy in their small but crucial roles.”
