The Little Theatre has surprised this reviewer with yet another excellent production and a directorial triumph by Kathleen Barth who has assembled an impressive cast to manifest her vision. |
Barth and her cast keep the stakes high and make Schiller’s plotty play — five acts of secrets, stratagems, shifting loyalties, betrayals, raised and dashed hopes, wise council, and plausible deniability — not only clear but at times gripping. |
Director Kathleen Barth brings all of the elements of dramatic confrontation, Elizabethan pageantry, and commentary on court intrigue and fate into a highly entertaining production of "Mary Stuart". |
Director Kathleen Barth keeps the fun in high gear with top-notch performances by all. Director Kathleen Barth expertly transforms what could easily (in less talented hands) turn into a blurry mess of a she loves me/he hates me dialogue into a wonderfully surprising delight. |
