““Mr. Snake (Jacob Dresch), whose green coiffure (by Charles G. LaPointe) is in tune with his toxicity.””
““Jacob Dresch’s “Snake” is an original comic invention.””
““Jacob Dresch as Snake is perfectly smarmy and foppish and terribly funny.””
““Not that it takes much to be impressed by the likes of Frances Barber and Jacob Dresch, who give two of the finest performances here.””
““Dresch plays Costard, a simple man from the kingdom who serves as the catalyst for all things that go wrong. Dresch dropped Shakespeare’s longest word without a flinch... Best described as seemingly unhinged... Dresch owns his overly dramatic role.””
““The secondary storylines feature highly effective clowning: As a hapless peasant, Jacob Dresch is a scene-stealer.””
““As the foppish Andrew Aguecheek, Jacob Dresch is particularly funny with his physicality.””
““Jacob Dresch may be the most interesting actor at PSF this year. He has a knack for approaching parts with a difference and finding multi-level line readings.””
““Jacob Dresch plays Sir Henry Baskerville... with an eagerness that would become a puppy dog, an endearing distractedness and an attentiveness that’s winsome.””
““Dresch makes Baker’s journey to his own self-awareness a delight. It is wonderful to watch his transformation from a sad sack with a poker face to a fully realized member of the human race full of emotions.””
““Dresch projects naive charm. He’s a miniaturist of emotions. His interactions with Button and Schulenburg evoke the warm and fuzzy. What began as a nonentity becomes someone you root for.””
