Review Samples

“Trent Baker’s direction is original and compelling…Visually stunning thanks to a superb design by Christina Logan-Bell and lighting design by Damien McLean

 

Sarah Ogden has natural charisma and is extremely watchable in the role of Celia.

Adele Querol is stunning as Rosalind. These two actresses had great chemistry together.

 

Mark Wilson is electric as Touchstone, Luke Mulquiney gave a captivating performance… 

 

Cameron Moore straddled two roles with chameleon like ease. Joel Davey was extremely believable, showing remarkable command over the Shakesperean verse. 

 

Winterfall Theatre Company’s debut of As You Like It is excellent and I strongly recommend it!”

 

Inpress March 14th, 2010

“Winterfall Theatre is a new company that work together like an established ensemble. The actors are all excellent making the transporting of the play to the 1980’s an exciting interpretation. 

 

I was particularly impressed by Mark Wilson’s portrayal of Touchstone which was nothing short of spellbinding.

 

Sarah Ogden displayed remarkable natural talent in the role of Celia …
 

Adele Querol nailed the role of Rosalind…

 

Jason Buckley’s acting was strong and convincing…Cameron Moore was compelling in the roles of Oliver and Amiens…

 

Wil Ridley was just fabulous… Melanie Madrigali has a natural and powerful stage presence…David  Lamb’s acting was astoundingly good!

 

Joel Davey gave a superlative performance as Jacques. Davey’s rendition of “All the world’s a Stage…”, was so original as to make it seem like the first time any actor had uttered these famous words…

 

Liza Dennis was wonderful and lovable as Audrey.

 

Credit must be shared by director Trent Baker, designer Christina Logan-Bell, lighting designer Damien McLean and the entire cast for a memorable show!”

 

Curtain Call March 12th, 2010​​

“… Trent Baker’s direction was sure, swift where needed and the text was clear…


An exciting and interesting ensemble… A stunning Rosalind in Adele Querol.

Winterfall Theatre’s production was full of energy and invention."

“I was impressed with the young cast and the direction by Trent Baker, who has succeeded in setting Shakespeare’s play in the 1980s!

 

Mark Wilson made a fabulous fool. Thanks to Liza Dennis for her oh-so-adorable Audrey… 

Thanks to Joel Davey for his subtle and heartbreakingly melancholy portrayal of Jacques….”

 

Arts Hub March 14th, 2010

“Winterfall Theatre’s production of As You Like It is a winner! The entire cast was wonderful and each one of them deserves mention.

 

Mark Wilson stood out to me. His performance as Touchstone was a magical mix of impulses that had me thinking how much Shakespeare would have loved his interpretation. 

 

Adele Querol was captivating in the role of Rosalind and Sarah Ogden gave a stellar performance as Celia.


Jason Buckley has a naturally strong stage presence and acting talent, making for a memorable performance. 

 

Luke Mulquiney gave an impressive performance; Cameron Moore’s acting was excellent. 

 

Joel Davey gave a moving, memorable performance of Jaques…

 

 David Lamb was terrific as Orlando, integrating the period into his interpretation of character.

 

The entire cast gave great performances and I loved director, Trent Baker’s decision to set the play in the 1980s”
