Critical Response
“I found myself brightening up whenever Tyrone Mitchell Henderson, Elizabeth Ingram, and Johnny Lee Davenport came on stage, because they consistently brought life to the proceedings, as well as vivid, focused characterizations.”
—Michael Miller, The Berkshire Review for the Arts (July 14, 2013)
“Johnny Lee Davenport is strong as the priestly attired Northumberland.”
—Steve Barnes, Times Union (July 14, 2013)
“Johnny Lee Davenport offers essential support as Northumberland, Harry Percy’s father, who, though allied with the new King, will become one of his chief antagonists in the next play in the cycle.”
—Andrew Beck, Springfield Art Examiner (July 14, 2013)
“Fine work is turned in also by Tyrone Mitchell Henderson as both Mowbray and Carlisle, by Johnny Lee Davenport as Northumberland and by Thomas L. Rindge as both Surrey and Willoughby.”
—J. Peter Bergman, Berkshire Bright Focus (July 15, 2013)
“Jonathan Croy had gravitas aplenty as the plain‐speaking elder, John of Gaunt, and so did Johnny Lee Davenport as the politically cunning Earl of Northumberland.”
—Chris Rohmann, The Valley Advocate (July 23, 2013)
