Wittenberg
- The Valley Advocate Review:
"Bursting with Stoppardian wordplay and witty reflections on faith, friendship, cosmology and the agonies of free will -- a brilliant capper to Chester's adventurous season." - Berkshire Eagle Review:
In the hands of director Byam Stevens and a uniformly fine acting ensemble, it gets to where it wants to go in bold and exuberant style. An invigorating, bracing ending to one of the most satisfying CTC seasons."
The Turn of the Screw
- Berkshire Eagle Review:
"A ripping tale rippingly told... (wonderfully revealing)... riveting... storytelling at its best." - The Arts Fuse Review:
A production that keeps you thinking long after the lights have come up.. Quite apart from providing an evening of riveting entertainment (you could have heard a pin drop for most of the intermission-less 80 minutes) this production shows the possibilities of adaptation."
Crime and Punishment
- Berkshire Eagle Review:
"Taut. Incisive. Focused...thoroughly accomplished, riveting production" - Boston Globe Review:
"First-rate: taut, well-acted, penetrating."
pride @ prejudice
- Daily Hampshire Gazette Review:
"Indeed, if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Austen must be blushing in her grave." - The Arts Fuse Review:
"pride @ prejudice runs...with nary a dull moment and the actors seem to be having as wonderful a time as the audience."
