As Sir John Falstaff
in
"The Merry Wives of Windsor"
with Cecile Mann as
Hostess
and Kim Gordon as
Mistress Ford
at The Theater at
Monmouth, 1986 |
|
 |
"The production was crystallized by a
dazzling performance by Jeremiah Kissel as
Falstaff. From his entrance, not only his size,
but his whole presence dominated the stage.
Kissel's roguish voice, his self-indulgent,
sybaritic manner made his Falstaff finely
perceived, never overplayed. His palpable lust
for the bag of gold Ford offers him, the perfume
he puts between his legs, his efforts to eat the
diamond earrings off of Mistress Ford's ear
while seducing her create a splendidly comic and
intelligently envisioned Falstaff."
