The Starship Astrov

Walter Brandes as Captain January is the play's anchor, and his performance includes some wonderful moments where he really cues us in to what's going on in his character's slow-but-steady churning brain.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

Lord Henry, specifically,  is the tray upon which all of Wilde’s best lines are served and Walter Brandes does his best to make sure we don’t forget it – he savors every word as if it were a balsamic-soaked Portabello mushroom and lets certain phrases roll around on his tongue like a heady, lush, full bodied red wine ending every sentence in a hummmmmmmmm.

Brandes embraces every delicious Wildean line with wit and subtle double entendre. He is delightful in a most detestable way.

Walter Brandes, as Lord Henry, skillfully delivers Wilde's razor-sharp observations on the hypocrisy of Victorian society.

The role of Foustka is a massive one: he appears in every scene, and is onstage for almost the duration of the show. Not an easy assignment, but Walter Brandes is up to the task, giving a Herculean effort that looks as easy as a walk in park. He's comfortable with Foustka's "high flown oratory," as one person calls it (a trait which the character uses to continually talk his way into and out of almost any situation), and navigates the character's precarious duplicity with expertise.

Measure For Measure

Walter Brandes, who played the part of “Angelo” did this Shakespearean character proud. His soliloquies were passionate and moving yet he was heartless and stone cold when deciding the fate of “Claudio.” Brandes demonstrated this wide range of character flawlessly, a true credit to his craft.

A Village Wooing
