“Tom Rooney, playing the pedant Holofernes, is the funniest in Love’s Labour’s Lost because of what he does with his entire body, not just how he delivers his lines. He acts as much with his legs – which suddenly become rubbery with lust, or rigid with wounded pride – as anything.
Rooney, this Stratford season’s MVP, shines in every moment here – and elevates the performances of those around him in the supporting cast through his hilarious reactions to them.”
