REVIEWS

• Seattle PI | Alice Kaderlan
  • “Edison offers hilarious one-liners”
  • “…sparkling dialogue and a touching soliloquy…”
  • “Burgess slides naturally into his character’s cynicism, then touches our hearts with his observations on human suffering.”
  • “As usual scenic designer Mark Lund turns Taproot’s tiny stage into a total environment, in this case a believable woodsy scene.”

• Arts Stage Seattle Rage | Nancy Worssam
  • “On this stage you’ll find witty and thought provoking dialogue as President Warren Harding, Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison match wits and reveal their characters.”
  • “As played by Rob Burgess, he’s a wry, avuncular figure, an island of calm amidst the fireworks provided by Harding and Ford.”
  • “David Pichette as Ford epitomizes the greedy, self-serving, and unsavory titan of industry that Ford became.”
  • “The character contrast revealed in this production is fascinating. And it all plays out in a wonderfully realized forest created by Mark Lund.”

• BestofSeattleWA.com | Jeff Totey
  • “…Mark St. Germain’s clever Camping with Henry and Tom.”
  • “Camping features one [of] the theatre’s best stage sets created by Mark Lund complete with Ford’s Model-T smashed into a tree.”
  • “The brilliant cast includes David Pichette as Ford, Rob Burgess as Edison, Frank Lawler as Harding and Kevin Pitman as Colonel Edmund Starling.”
  • “…the dialog is witty and … believable…”
  • “…all the actors involved do a bang up job”
  • “…the discussions feel quite contemporary”
  • “… any history buff who enjoys learning more about such characters or can’t get enough of political drama, will no doubt enjoy this production.”

• Seattle Gay Scene | Michael Strangeways
  • “It does have talented experienced actors involved with David Pichette as the tartly verbose Ford, Frank Lawler as the boyishly but also crookedly endearing Harding and Rob Burgess, amusingly genial and wry as the avuncular Edison.”
  • “All the actors are enjoyable…”

• Miryam’s Theater Musings | Miryam Gordon
  • “terrific actors”
  • “Scott Nolte’s usual deft direction brings out the best in these actors as they take on these semi-well-known people.”
  • “Each of the three main actors finds special and unique mannerisms to deliver their characters.”
  • “Lawler subtly weaves pathos and weakness into Harding”
  • “Pichette strongly performs the vitriolic and cunning Ford with forthrightness…”
