REVIEWS: Red Velvet at STNJ

REVIEWS: Red Velvet at STNJ

Reviews, Theatre,
David recently closed his successful and critically applauded run of "Red Velvet" at Shakespeare Theater of New Jersey in September 2016. Here's what local critics had to say about the regional premiere of this immediately relevant and important piece: Patrick Maley, NJ.com (Sept 15, 2016) 'Red Velvet' at Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey is a gripping history lesson But the proceedings get considerably more interesting in the play's latter half, particularly because we come to understand Aldridge as a complex, nuanced person. One long debate between Laporte and Aldridge results in a blockbuster scene. The director is pulled between his…

BWW: ACT’s Christmas Carol “Alive with Magic”

David Foubert as Henry gets far more stage time than Wortham, but he quickly points out that the man he plays isn’t the bearded, rotund, bejeweled monarch of the famous Henry VIII portraits. "Henry was a vital, active, straightforward, outgoing young man who enjoyed hunting and jousting with his many friends. He’s smart enough to…

Broadway World Review: “Henry VIII at STNJ is Outstanding Theatre”

Reviews, Theatre, , ,
BroadwayWorld.com loved the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's production of Shakespeare's Henry VIII: "The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey (STNJ) continues their triumphant season with one of the Shakespeare's rarely produced masterpieces, Henry VIII now onstage through November 9th. Tell a friend to tell a friend.... The staging and pacing of this epic play is absolutely flawless." With regard to David's performance in the title role, BWW was equally glowing: "The cast is ideally suited to their roles. David Foubert masters his role as a very robust, yet charming Henry. While Foubert succeeds at portraying this commanding character, he brings…
