Another stellar review of A Man of No Importance- this time in Random Lengths News from Greggory Moore. Excerpts from the review are below and follow the links to read the full article online.
“Long Beach Landmark Theatre Company’s A Man of No Importance is a satisfying show that gets a little extra juice from the fact that it’s playing in a house of worship … How joyful it is to live — and see theatre — in one little corner that’s seen the light.” writes theatre critic, Greggory Moore.
“The emotional payoff it seeks is well earned.”
“Nowhere is this truer than with Nemrow, whose restraint is perfectly in keeping with Alfie’s particularly straitened personality. It’s a choice that pays huge emotional dividends.”
“Music director Curtis Heard’s skeleton crew more than capably generate warm, woodsy colors (accordion, fiddle, cello, mandolin) perfectly in keeping with the soul of Flaherty’s songcraft.”
“Director Megan O’Toole has everyone playing it close to the vest, to excellent effect.”
Oscar Wilde, Alfie Byrne’s imagined confidant, is “embodied with sufficient trenchancy by Mark Wheeler.”
