Comments received for The Foreigner

Audience review #2
Received from Johnny, Tuesday, February 14

Overall: Excellent
Full comments: "The funniest play I have ever seen at the Heights Players! Great direction from Noel McDuffie and outstanding acting from the cast. Steve Verlardi and Bill Barry are totally believable as 'mates' from the other side of the pond....great chemistry on stage. That goes for the whole cast. Cameron McIntosh and Kayla Ferguson are perfectly cast as the 'not so dim' brother and 'not so mean' sister and Larry Gutman is suitably creepy as the evil Klansman. The 2nd act is full of hilarious surprises. See this play!"

Received from Anonymous, Tuesday, February 7

Overall: Excellent
Full comments: "This production had a FANTASTIC cast, and was very well directed! Each actor really embodied their character and brought them to life. The direction brought depth and humor to the already funny script. The Foreigner was truly a delight to see!"

"The Foreigner, as performed by Brooklyn Heights' venerable theater company, is farce at its most pure: unrelentingly absurd, energetic, ridiculous, and downright funny." Reviewed by Jay Reisburg for CultureCatch.com.  Read the full review here!

Overall: "Good"
Full comments: Tiffany Stoker was a standout in the role of Ilona Ritter. Her expressions were so evocative that I didn't want the play to end.  Please cast her again!!

Audience review #1
Received from "Heights fan," Saturday, November 14

Overall: "Good"
Full coments: "Ted has done a great job in creating lovely stage pictures and show. Lots of talent on stage and visually (lights) well done. A big long in act one, as pacing could have been much tighter, but still quality."

Audience review #2
Received from "A Heights Players fan," Monday, November 16

Overall: "Excellent"
Full comments: "Was looking forward to this after seeing what Ted did with last season's production of Death of a Salesman and was not disappointed. Wonderful staging, lights, sound, set, etc., and overall strong acting. Not quite up to the level of the top performances in Salesman, which is the best show I have EVER seen at the Heights, but the best show so far this year and one I think that will be very hard to top this season. Well worth seeing. Bravo to all!"

Audience review #2
Received from Dotty, Tuesday, September 15

Overall: "Good"
Full comments: "Saw this on Sunday and thought that overall it was a good production and well directed. All the leads were good ... Louise and both Helens and Susan Groberg, who played Nanny was great and very funny. Also liked Bill Barry as Bill, the suitor who at times is both tender and tough but is always devoted to Louise. It did run a bit long and the energy and voices dipped a bit in the scenes that did not include Nanny and Bill, but I am sure that will be worked out as the production goes on."

Audience review #1
Received from Dan, Monday, September 14

Overall: "Excellent"
Full comments: "This play has some structural flaws. It doesn't know where it's going, and takes a long time getting there. Still, it was a touching and worthwhile experience. Some wonderful acting from every cast member, especially Susan Faye Groberg as Nanny. (Carol Burnett fans will immediately recognize Vicki Lawrence's 'Mama.') Special mention should also go to two young actresses. Linda Zvereva as Younger Helen and Anna Furmanskaya as Alice give amazing performances. Carrie Hamilton tragically died before she and her mother could really give good dramatic form to this bio of Carol Burnett. But it's still a very enjoyable evening of theater."
