Mac Brydon

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

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

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

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

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...

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...

Brydon's Gary proves a perfect foil...a money-obsessed fast talking fellow...a hoot, at once ridiculous and eerily plausible.

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

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

...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.

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

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

…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.

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

...consistently crisp and witty performances...

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

...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.

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...

...Brydon gets a lot of mileage out of Crouch, the caretaker...

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

...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...

...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 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.

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

The standout in the company is Mac Brydon.

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

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