"The amazing production quality alone should entice you to see this visual masterpiece, however, the acting is also equally astonishing.... The actor who really stood out for me as just being overall tremendously gifted was Nick Sandys, who played Prospero. Sandys really set the tone for the entire show as his powerful performance completely matched Prospero's powerful character. Sandys’ commanding presence was undeniable... It will be hard to watch a different production of The Tempest and not have Sandys’ interpretation on my mind." BroadwayWorld.com Aug. 23, 2016
"Nick Sandys gives a commanding, complex performance as a younger, more virile and worried Prospero than is customary. His interactions with Rebecca Leiner as Prospero’s daughter, Miranda, combine parental love and exasperation, just as she projects hero-worship and teenage frustration back at him to make their relationship feel genuine and contemporary.With a woman cast as Ariel, Prospero’s interactions with her contain a whisper of sexual tension that Sandys and Scanlon both play subtly, and she brings out self-doubt in Sandys’ Prospero at key moments that make his eventual forgiveness of Antonio believable."
