Mac Brydon

the quixotic and darkly insinuating Mac Brydon...vibrant production...flawless acting...Actors Brydon and Tramont are superb...The ensemble work . . . is sharp, unexpected and devastating...must-see production

a study in subtle, underplayed comic timing...The acting, too, is delightful.

Mac Brydon and Ian Pfister deliver remarkable performances.

...several of the actors stand out in the ten-member cast...Mac Brydon as Democratic Senator Wayne Morse (described as the “not-so-loyal opposition”)

The standout in the company is Mac Brydon.

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

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…

Mac Brydon as the slick, smug Pimm...expert performance

This excellent ensemble...play their roles extremely well...

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...delivers a truly bravura performance – one might even say a star turn - and deserves a special accolade.

...consistently crisp and witty performances...

Docksey (Mac Brydon)…takes time out to seduce and become moony-eyed over Dex's girlfriend Laney.

The physical comedy worked best. Mac Brydon, returning late in a second role as Gus, a geriatric stage hand, has a lot of fun inching about in contortions of pain.

Zins and Brydon are a constant and witty fount of laughter...

...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.

The characters Dr. Hallemeier and Dr. Gall are the closest thing to a comedy team in R.U.R. - Mac Brydon and Kevin Bernard find enough dimensions in these two to keep these science geeks grounded, so that their undoing in the second act is all the more touching.

Austin Pendleton’s direction is masterful. He elicits tight, natural performances from actors playing characters who grow increasingly unnatural...Mac Brydon is delicious as Adam.

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

…blessed with excellent actors in its leading roles…Brydon, whom I enjoyed in a production of Moonchildren, is even better here; he can act in a wonderfully intimate, naturalistic style and yet clearly project his character's emotions...when Brydon does let go, it's chilling.

...Adam Jacobi (Mac Brydon) who is a fill-in-the-blank kind of maniac. He is a tyrant given to seizures of grandeur...crisp and on target...Brydon and Fryman leap off the Richter Scale...

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...

The cast is uniformly fine...Mac Brydon...as British ex pat Robert Pimm...is adroitly driven and enigmatic.

…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 play is well served by its cast...

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

as Benedick...Mr. Brydon...made a fantastic transition to the serious Benedick, who is deeply hurt by Claudio's actions...

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...
