Reviews:
"The show is very cleverly cast,... Much further amusement also flows from Paul Oakley Stovall’s aggrieved Justice Shallow and Nick Sandys’ Sir Hugh Evans, who comes with a Welsh accent that is like taking a gulp of leek soup." Chicago Tribune
"Gifted Nick Sandys is strong and subtly side-splitting as the vicar, Sir Hugh Evans. Mr. Sandys also serves as the show’s fight coordinator."
chicagotheatrereview.com
"Other highlights are Nick Sandys as the parson Sir Hugh Evans. Sandys has just the right amount of persnickety energy and a great Welsh accent." thirdcoastreview.com
"Sir Hugh (Nick Sandys) is a local parson who speaks with a massively loaded Welsh accent. Dr. Caius (Nate Burger) matches that with his own exaggerated French one…and you can bet that at some point they’ll meet mano a mano--or accent a accent. Both pull off these comical parts wonderfully." chicagoonstage.com
"The other shining lights in this production (and they are all terrific) are .... Sir Hugh Evans (the always incredible Nick Sandys),... As you might guess there are some wonderful physical comedy touches and even some bicycle riding on the stage. The fight consultant, Nick Sandys is incredible at making it all seem real." aroundthetownchicago.com
"Anyone who has muddled through Latin 101 will be amply rewarded with the grammar lesson delivered by Nick Sandys, who, as Welshman Sir Hugh Evans, commences a parade of malapropisms that lead to the gutter." newcitystage.com
"The performances are fantastic across the board.... Breen's direction is impressive in weaving together the performances of Chiké Johnson (Master Page), Timothy Edward Kane (Master Ford), Nate Burger (Dr. Caius), and Nick Sandys (Sir Hugh Evans). Each of these actors contributes to the sense that these men approach every conflict and situation with deadly seriousness. This approach lets Shakespeare's comedy speak for itself, yet each of the actors adds a unique facet to these absurd situations... Burger and Sandys deserve particular credit for the broad comedy that forms the foundation of their performances, as well as the fact that the two successfully keep to their own comedic and melodramatic lane. Too often, stagings of the play lapse into competition and one-upmanship rather than collaboration, and the rapport these two actors build is the most impressive example of how this approach to the text distinguishes itself."
