Reviews:
"Nick Sandys plays Bertie's hapless school chum Eustace Bassington-Bassington (or Bassie), whose wealthy uncle Sir Rupert (a nicely blustery Ron Keaton) threatens to send him to India unless he can prove he's successful, which he is not... Funny, physical and appropriately befuddled, Sandys (a prototypical Tom Stoppard principal if ever there was) is a delight." Daily Herald
"Bertie’s even-more-feckless friend, Eustace (Nick Sandys in fine pratfall form), has his own problems with his military uncle, Sir Rupert (Ron Keaton)... The actors know exactly when to underplay and when to go for broke,..." chicagoreader.com
"Nick 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
"Christian Gray and Nick Sandys are a joy to watch as upper-class twits, lovable despite having only about twenty IQ points between them. Both are terrific physical comedians, especially when they’re singing their school song or trying to woo Gertrude with quotes about moral philosophy." newcitystage.com
