Review Excerpts

“‘APT SPARKLES IN ‘TARTUFFE’’…Randall Duk Kim showed well how he hears only what he wants to—patriarchal arrogance breeding dull self-righteousness.…”
               —Kevin Lynch, THE CAPITAL TIMES (7/1/1991)

“‘AMERICAN PLAYERS STAGE A NEAR-PERFECT ‘TARTUFFE’’…The APT has mounted a smashing production of ‘Tartuffe’ that is as close to perfect as theater gets. Under the direction of John Wyatt and Randall Duk Kim, Moliere’s nasty farce possesses satiric bite and a soaring sense of silly fun, kept under careful control by invisible restraints. The production is rich in comically confrontational scenes that come with the consistency of waves, pitting characters against each other. Comic timing is pin-sharp.…And the entire production is infused with a zest and energy that resonate throughout the beautiful wooded bowl that is home to this outdoor theater.…In turn, Randall Duk Kim’s Orgon is older, more stubborn and more cantankerous that most interpretations of that character.…”
