Critical Response
“Claudius (Nigel Gore) and Polonius (Dennis Krausnick) were perfectly cast, as was the masterful Johnny Lee Davenport in the multiple roles of the Ghost, Player King and Gravedigger. ”
—Larry Murray, Berkshire Fine Arts (June 28, 2009)
“Johnny Lee Davenport is a seamless switch for John Windsor-Cunningham in the roles of the Ghost of Hamlet’s Father, the Player King, and the Gravedigger, a combination that still works well.”
—Gail M. Burns, GailSez.org: Berkshire Theatre Reviews (June 2009)
“Johnny Lee Davenport steals the show in a chilling turn as the ghost, and equally hilarious moments as a traveling actor and gravedigger.”
—Karolina Sadowicz, In The Spotlight (June 28, 2009)
“Johnny Lee Davenport rates a special round of applause as the ghost of the slain King, the Player King and the gravedigger.”
—Elyse Sommer, Curtain Up (August 18, 2009)
“We saw it last night and I was blown away by a lot of the performances. Jason Asprey as the tormented Hamlet, Johnny Lee Davenport as the Ghost, and Elizabeth Raetz as Ophelia command the stage.”
