Mac Brydon

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

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

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.

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...

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

Talented, appealing Mac Brydon was wasted in the one-trick role of Fletch, Harpagon's flamboyantly gay servant.

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

...a scene in which Tom reduces his closeted, gay-baiting boss (Mac Brydon) to a simpering slave is priceless, its transitional exchange hilariously played by the two actors.

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

…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.

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

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'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.

The show opens as Rollo meets with a theater manager, Abie Stein (Mac Brydon), to unfold plans for his debut. “ ‘Hamlet?’ ” says the skeptical Mr. Stein. “Do you think anyone wants to see it?

Pfister and Brydon...delightfully enthusiastic torturers...Spitting out rapid-fire dialogue and jumping around the theatre like manic five-year-olds with switchblades, Mac and Ian created an electric tension that made their performances among the most memorable to grace a New York stage this year…

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.

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

The cast members (all game)...

...consistently crisp and witty performances...

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

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

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

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

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...

Brydon and Pfister have a good chemistry together and great timing...very nice work with their Scottish accents...the chemistry among the three men is pretty strong...

One of my favorite parts of the show, what brought some levity and humor, was the character Banquo (played by Mac Brydon) who was one of the show's saving graces, acting-wise. Unfortunately, the director cut his part down to nearly nothing. Brydon does a lot with what little role he has left, however.

…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.

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

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