a major theatre event!”
—Connecticut Post
“Classic Wilde, directed with a palpable confidence by James Bundy. Witty and sprightly, the bon mots fly! Effervescent sexual tension. Judith-Marie Bergan is right on target as the chronically disapproving Lady Caroline Pontefract. Anthony Newfield is lovable as her hopelessly henpecked husband. And Patricia Kilgarriff deserves a special round of applause for her comic timing and general charm. The gentlemen look scrumptious in white tie, the ladies are ravishing in silken gowns.” —The New York Times
“Wilde for Woman! Wonderful.Beguiling.Polished. Kate Forbes's performance is remarkable. The versatile actress nearly steals the show. Geordie Johnson could keep the theatre toasty through a 6-hour power outage on his animal magnetism alone.” —New Haven Register
“A clever assault on the hypocrisy of English social conventions, A Woman of No Importance comes well stocked with witticisms that are central to the playwright's reputation. The actors are a worthy bunch: Kate Forbes delivers a moving performance. René Augesen is entirely playful, flirtatious, and sharp-tongued.” —Hartford Courant
“An enthralling tale of scandal. The play shines! An emotionally resonant, thought-provoking evening of theatre.” —Yale Daily News
