review



DON QUIXOTE is bittersweet but loveable

Excerpt from The Oregonian (Portland), Marty Hughley
June 22, 2009


...Solis' script deftly juggles the mundane and the fantastical and this production's master stroke is in the use of Lynn Jeffries' puppet designs to visualize those elements. There are wobbly-headed ducks on wheels, a tricycle donkey, an owl whose chest heaves with breath, a giant enchanter with glowing red eyes, windmills fashioned from unicycles and one particularly low-tech horse.

Director Laird Williamson keeps all the stage traffic running briskly and smoothly, and brings out a fine comic edge in the surrounding performances, especially those by John Pribyl as a sanctimonious village priest, Danforth Comins as a dashing young gentleman, and the ever-charming Miriam A. Laube as a country girl who's been wronged.
