Mac Brydon

Brydon’s portrayal of Jim is the strongest in the show...every time he speaks, it’s electric.

Mac Brydon's Edgar weaves his way masterfully through purpose and disguise, never leaving us wondering over his love and loyalty, even in feigned insanity.

...the play is well served by its cast...

It's such a pleasure to see theatre like this.

...the sex-starved, goofy Dr. Hallemeier (Mac Brydon)...

Mac Brydon as Benedick aptly leads the show, turning in a wonderfully wry comic portrayal.

a slick little thriller...Boal's dialogue is sharp throughout. A tirade through which...Pimm (Mac Brydon)...challenges Staats on a definition of the word "friend" is especially juicy. Indeed, the jeremiad leaps naturally from the characterization of Pimm...

...she has a proper suitor in the equally-repressed Roger Doremus (Mac Brydon)...The cast is excellent...the members of Alma's book club are hilarious, with perfectly drawn characters that are exaggerated but never become caricature.

...consistently crisp and witty performances...

Brydon brings sharp comic timing to his wry portrayal of Roger Doremus, the mamma's boy and general dormouse of a man...he scurries to the loveseat & fans himself with a palm frond when confronted by his rival...a brilliantly funny moment of unspoken frustration...the funniest scene in the play...

…with Mac Brydon offering a fine supporting turn...

The cast is first-rate with Mac Brydon and Laura Siner realistically portraying this doomed marriage.

an invigorated interrogation...Mr. Brydon, the play's focus, with a least two-thirds of the dialogue...a sly character...appropriates a credible anxiety and intensity

Brydon's work was simply amazing. There is really no other way to put it. He was natural in everything he did...his Chevy-Chase/John Ritter-like physicality was reminiscent of the simple beauty of Dudley Moore hiding behind the flowers in the chapel in "10" - hilarious, believable, entertaining and FUN.

Mac Brydon as the abusive boss turned whipping boy...plays his character over the top - in a good way. The audience lapped up his scenes because he went full-tilt boogie with the material and seemed to be having a blast...

Mac Brydon is outstanding as Benedick…Mr. Brydon commands the stage with his presence and comic timing...his transformation from woman-hating bachelor to lovelorn suitor is enjoyable...Benedick’s metamorphosis from affirmed bachelor to prospective married man is hilarious…

…Brydon and Siner have formed a bond so strong...it seems like they're both at the center of the action, even when they're not. You can almost feel Brydon's eyes boring into Siner as Kirsten begs a neighbor for vanilla extract, for example; their work is really that connected.

The actors...do splendid work under the direction of Austin Pendleton.

Mac Brydon had that sleazy charm of a Theatrical Manager. I could also see him as bookie in a Damon Runyon story.

...He is joined by his close friend Banquo—played by the charming Mac Brydon...

The piece is very well-acted. I especially enjoyed Mac Brydon...

Brydon's utter physical ease and verbal dexterity made the audience instantly enamored of him.

The key to this production...was the energy of Brydon and Pfister. As two crooks on speed they were bouncing off the walls; the staff should have distributed sedatives with the programs...In addition to their lightning pacing, these actors seemed to have mastered the Scots dialect...

...Mac Brydon is fully functional at play's end

The acting is spot on, especially with the two leads, Mac Brydon as Pimm and Ryan Tramont as Thomas.

Mac Brydon, as Abie, works hard to keep up his Noo Yawk accent...succeeding.

Mac Brydon...slimy...comically vile...

...ridiculously high-strung boss, Adam Jacoby (Mac Brydon)...manic...high octane...

The play is worth seeing if only for Mac Brydon’s sharp, animated performance as Pimm. A role that could easily regress to all surface gestures and tells is held on compellingly even keel. The actor gives us a real sense of his character’s whirring mind. Tone is insidiously seductive. A pleasure to watch.
