DIAL M FOR MURDER
Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher, from the play by Frederick Knott @ Northlight Theatre, December 2023 "“Dial M” is somewhat perfunctory until Hubbard steps on stage. Sandys’ deadpan queries and revelations are marvelously entertaining, his every interaction indicating a world of subtext. Even as he delivers a dramatic denouement that explains the true facts behind the murder, Sandys never falls into melodrama or stereotype. He’s the heart of the drama, his every word steeped in arid, borderline caustic humor..." Chicago Sun-Times JEEVES INTERVENES Adapted by Margaret Raether, from the stories by P. G. Wodehouse @ First Folio Theatre, November 2022 " Funny, physical and appropriately befuddled, Sandys (a prototypical Tom Stoppard principal if ever there was) is a delight." Daily Herald Mr. DICKENS' HAT
by Michael Hollinger @ Northlight Theatre, December 2021 "Fleece (played to perfection by Sandys),..." - WTTW Charles Dickens' THE CHIMES
adapted and performed by Nick Sandys streaming @ Remy Bumppo Theatre, December 2020 "The term 'tour de force'... feels as if it were invented to describe Sandys in this play... a remarkable performance." - ChicagoOnStage.com FRANKENSTEIN
by Nick Dear, from the novel by Mary Shelley @ Remy Bumppo, October 2018 “[Sandys’] performance blew me away... I can’t imagine a Creature as compelling as Sandys.” Hyde Park Herald CAPTAIN BLOOD
Adapted by David Rice, from the novel by Rafael Sabbatini @ First Folio Theatre, February 2017 "The role of dashing hero fits Sandys like a bespoke suit. He’s got the Brooding Handsome Man thing on lock, and a deadpan delivery worthy of Bond. " Chicago Sun-Times/ Pioneer Press PYGMALION
by George Bernard Shaw @ Remy Bumppo Theatre Co., November 2016 "Nick Sandys seems born to play Higgins, the phonetics expert whose encyclopedic knowledge of how words are formed doesn't keep him from using them as blunt-force weapons." Chicago Tribune THE MAN WHO MURDERED
SHERLOCK HOLMES by John Reeger, Julie Shannon & Michael Maher @ The Mercury Theatre, January 2016 "Nick Sandys is an impeccable singing Holmes, his every "elementary" aglow with arch self-certainty." NewCity.com |
