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
"Sandys as Eustace, Bertie’s hapless school chum, is a marvel to watch on stage with his exaggerated pratfalls and knack for extreme physical comedy."  splashmags.com
"Bertie’s even-more-feckless friend, Eustace (Nick Sandys in fine pratfall form)... The actors know exactly when to underplay and when to go for broke."  chicagoreader.com
Mr. DICKENS' HAT
by Michael Hollinger
@ Northlight Theatre, December 2021
​
"Fleece (played to perfection by Sandys),..." - WTTW 
"Sandys is incredible as the evil Fleece and the imprisoned “father”." - AroundTheTownChicago.com 
"And we must point out the impeccable baritone voice of Nick Sandys, who plays Fleece and the Father." - Chicagonow.com
Charles Dickens' THE CHIMES 
adapted and performed by Nick Sandys
streaming on demand @ Remy Bumppo Theatre Company, December 2020
"The term 'tour de force'... feels as if it were invented to describe Sandys in this play... a remarkable performance." - 
ChicagoOnStage.com
​
"A humdinger... vocally nimble and endearing" - Chicago Reader
"a virtuosic 90 minutes... impeccable" - WTTW
FRANKENSTEIN 
 by Nick Dear, from the novel by Mary Shelley
@ Remy Bumppo, October 2018​

“Sandys’ Creature is primal, feral and recognizably humane. When he yowls in frustration and loneliness, the sound of pain seems to pierce the sky.” (Chicago Sun-Times)
“[Sandys’] performance blew me away... I can’t imagine a Creature as compelling as Sandys.”    (Hyde Park Herald) 
“...Sandys is always topnotch, a gifted actor at the apex of his craft...”     (ChicagoTheatreReview.com)​
​​“A virtuoso performance by Sandys…”     (ChicagoOnStage.com)​
​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. He also makes elaborate feats of derring-do look as smooth as a hot knife through butter."  (Chicago Sun-Times/ Pioneer Press) 
"Nick Sandys plays the title role with offhanded charm and rapier wit."  (Chicago Tribune)
"
Nick Sandys... as close to Errol Flynn as you are going to get."  (Dueling Critics WDCB 90.9FM)​
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 (3.5/4 stars)
"Nick Sandys, Remy Bumppo’s artistic director — and this production’s Henry Higgins — was made for the role." ​    Chicago Sun-Times    
"... Nick Sandys, in eloquent command of the English language as the most perfect Henry Higgins,..."  Lebontravel-culture.com ​
"... the wonderful Nick Sandys in a performance that practically flays the character alive,... "  Time Out Chicago
