“We came into this world like brother and brother”
“The biggest standout, though, is Wyatt as the two Dromios. She gives them (and particularly Dromio of Ephesus) a charmingly impish quality, completely in the spirit of Shakespeare’s good-natured comedy. She reminded me a bit of Charlie Chaplin, moving around the stage in a quirky, almost clownish way and making the Dromios long-suffering but resilient, ever-hopeful everymen,”
“Wyatt’s expressive face and great agility at physical humor brings down the house,- Wyatt engages in a great deal of physical humor as she energetically runs around the stage and up and down the amphitheater steps multiple times. I was exhausted just watching her. Best of all, she never breaks character as she sprinted up the steps!”
“The Dromios are played with a delightfully fresh comic flourish by female actor Billie Wyatt whose Syracusan twin has a blithe, more country bumpkin aspect than his Ephesian counterpart.”
