| OCTOBER 31, 2009 | Just a few of snippets regarding the Wingfield performances... Author and actor come out 'Letter' perfect ...breathtaking scope and depth in their portrait of Larkspur and its inhabitants -- The Toronto Star a riveting and immaculately constructed little play, performed to perfection... Beattie electrifies the stage. -- The Victoria Times Colonist With gestures and a grab bag of different voices any impressionist would kill for, the actor is able to conjure up imaginary characters with a few deft strokes. -- The Victoria Times Colonist People who were treated to Beattie's talent in 'Letter' weren't disappointed with the sequel -- it was as hilarious, as entertaining as they were hoping it would be. -- The Pinnacle, Peterborough ...just as engaging the third time round... Rod/Walt is a crowd pleaser; to use an abysmal cliche he is a ray of sunshine. -- Monday Magazine, Victoria ... a marvellous time with good-hearted stories. Five (out of five) Stars! -- Geoff Chapman, Toronto Star Beattie's Walt... remains an endearing companion for a night out at the theatre. -- Jamie Portman, Ottawa Citizen ... powerhouse acting skills... could very well be the best of the bunch... It doesn't matter if you haven't seen any other installments of the series. Wingfield On Ice is theatrical magic that needs no introduction. -- David Lennam, Weekend Edition ... chockfull of the same puckish humour and keen eye for human foibles that made its predecessors so enjoyable. -- Adrian Chamberlain, Victoria Times Colonist pure comic gold... The day you succeed in packing as much laughter, thought, insight and feeling into two hours as Beattie, Beattie and Needles do, then give me a call. -- Richard Ouzounian, Toronto Star Beattie is astonishingly adept at transforming himself from one character to another in a matter of seconds, calling up echoes of a crotchety Walter Brennan, a gawky Jimmy Stewart or a flustered Bob Newhart -- The Toronto Star a brilliantly funny look at humanity... each episode appears to be more polished and intricately laid out than its predecessor... entertainment of the highest order. -- Network Now With his man-next-door face -- perfect for a character like Walt -- Beattie flows to other roles with a twist of the lip, the arch of an eyebrow, a different bend in the back and a wonderful array of different voices. -- The Globe and Mail an experience no theatregoer should miss --CKLY Radio Dan Needles has much the same gift for gentle comedy as England's James Herriot of All Creatures Great and Small glory. -- The Toronto Sun The third partner, invisible but important, is director Douglas Beattie, who keeps it all seeming simple, but actually being quite complex. -- The Toronto Star A kind of philosophical Will Rogers touch with a flair for the well told anecdote that is like the best of W.O. Mitchell, AND IT'S FUNNY! -- CKLN Newswave If you've never really enjoyed one person shows, this is the one to change your mind. -- The Ottawa Citizen ...a highly entertaining property...audiences are giving standing ovations to Beattie's tour de force -- --Variety |
