'DOVER'

by Matthew Gasda

"Gasda’s Dover succeeds at creating a tragic plot structure around a torquing love story, between Charlotte and Anna, that paints the mother as tragic in her scintillating hypocrisy. Their love’s recurring leaps toward and past each other are ongoing dashes of failed valor."

"Izabel Mar as Lady Macbeth was perhaps my favorite, if a favorite is possible from this cast. The 400-year old lines dripped from her lips as if they truly were her very own thoughts."

"Lady Macbeth, played by local actress Izabel Mar in her Seattle Rep debut, skillfully personifies one of the most formidable female characters in the Shakespearean canon... she takes on Lady Macbeth’s emasculating, shrewd nature and ultimate descent into madness so skillfully that, despite her evil, it is almost disappointing to see such a strong character fall."

"Lady Macbeth, Izabel Mar, who gives her play-within-a-play performance as a normally shy girl venting her suppressed adolescent fury through the “Macbeth” game. She growls her most infamous line — about her willingness to nurse a baby, look at it smiling in her face, and smash its brains out — with convincing venom."

The accomplished acting of the cast soon dispels any such notion. Each girl is totally committed to every line spoken on the stage. Most remarkable to me were the performances of Izabel Mar as Lady Macbeth, Tamsen Glaser as Banquo and Laakan McHardy as Witch 2... You could light a city from the electricity emanating from the stage in this play. It was as if the classic lines from the script were born and heard anew when presented by this fresh-faced cast."

 "Izabel Mar impresses as the effervescent and mathematically precocious 13-year-old Thomasina."

"Izabel Mar, playing the young, intelligent Thomasina Coverly, is especially deserving of praise. Her accuracy and spirit in the first act of the play was without equal."
