Subject: Last Two Weeks of Sub Shake's Critically Acclaimed Richard III
Subterranean Shakespeare Presents
Richard III
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Jeremy Cole
..."an elegant production, atmospheric, Jean Forsman's Queen Margaret is
awsome, Kerry Gudjohnsen's Queen Elizabeth becomes incandescent in her
misery, Lady Anne, is given a smoky intensity by Tiffany Harrison"...
Lisa Drostova - EAST BAY EXPRESS
..."this active, lucid show, There's dynamics aplenty, especially in the
quiet, agonizing moments,the cast is deployed skillfully, The audience
visibly hangs on every sublime - if barbed- word. It's a worthy effort,
as is shown by this solid show, featuring the Bay Area debut of an
estimable director"...
Ken Bulock - BERKELEY DAILY PLANET
..."Director Jeremy Cole promises his audience an intimate encounter
with Shakespeare, and he delivers in more ways than one. Sub Shake's
Richard III is staged at the Berkeley Art Center, a space that provides
an excellent set for entrances and exits with it's perfectly placed
partitians hiding a welcoming violinist who accompanies the performance.
Jack Halton mastered the role of Buckingham, it was the fact that
there reigned a true Shakespearean presence upon the stage. The play
works in its moments of subtlety, King Richard's performance (Charlie
Reaves), captured my attention in brief, yet beautiful moments, his
crown slips silently from his head. Whether gravity or gravitas, it
works."...
