I am My Own Wife

“[Andrew] Long takes firm hold of Wright’s carefully crafted script to deliver a stunning performance, leaping from person to personality, character to character, with remarkable ease. He adopts accents and postures, swaggers and subtleties to bring each individual vividly into being. And he does all this while dressed in a simple black housedress and a single strand of pearls. There is nothing to hide behind. No elaborate transformations of set or surface. It is just Long accompanied by some beautifully rendered effects of light and sound.”

“The newest version crops up in the smaller of Signature Theatre’s two spaces, the Ark, in a meticulous production directed by Alan Paul that proves again to be an actor’s dream”

“Director Alan Paul is only 25, but he shows maturity and control in his vision of this complex work.”

“Directed softly and warmly by a Washington local, Alan Paul, this play is a delight.”

“Alan Paul – at age 25 – makes an excellent stage directing debut with ‘Wife’”
