Edge - Highly Recommended

"...Tennessee Williams' play won the Pulitzer Prize back in 1955 when it debuted and was nominated for six Oscars when it was transformed into a film three years later. The characters and situations are complex, the material dense and the dialogue complicated, creating challenges for the actors, but director Cameron Watson elicits strong, emotional performances from all of his thespians across the board."

"...director Cameron Watson (Top Girls), producing theatrical magic yet again, keeps the drama on target. Terri A. Lewis's costumes were extremely apt for character-building, especially her bright-hued red-coral party-dress for Maggie and the period-tacky avocado-green pregnancy-dress for Mae. Thought and talent permeates this professional production, and the colossal talent in colossal roles, even on a tiny stage, is something to see."

"...Cameron Watson directs two equally sensational ensembles in Antaeus Theatre Company's pitch-perfect intimate revival of Tennessee Williams' Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, not only one of the finest productions now playing around town but (sound the trumpets!) the very first to grace the brand-spanking-new Kiki & David Gindler Performing Arts Center in Beautiful Downtown Glendale."

"...What could be a better choice to inaugurate Antaeus Theatre's sparkling new two-theater complex than Tennessee Williams's masterwork. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, especially when directed by Cameron Watson, whose vision for the production took into account the introduction of patrons to the company's just-completed starkly barebones black box mainstage."

"...Cameron Watson's direction of "The Buttered Biscuits" cast mostly attends to the same careful detail as Steven C. Kemp's out of balance scenic design: a bed-sitting room in the mansion on Big Daddy's 28,000 acre plantation where all of the action takes place. When a serious theatre company leaps full on into any Tennessee Williams project, the coordination of all aspects of the play must find harmony. Interestingly, in the three hour production, after each intermission, the set becomes more unbalanced and the story crumbles into a condemnation of 'mendacity'... the fabric of lies and avoided truths that creates the matrix of the play."

"...True creative inspiration however, is being generated from this production's set design which, according to director Cameron Watson during his celebratory post show speach, was a vision that began on a yellow pad, to which everyone in the company shared and helped construct right down to the building of the new stage itself. And it's a wonder."

Stage Raw - Highly Recommended

"...The ensemble is first-rate. Mozo's awesomely twitchy Maggie the Cat all but writhes with frustrated desire and deranged energy as she tries to yoke her despairing husband to her will. Philips's calculatedly passive turn as Brick is one of the drama's most difficult roles- it's necessary for the actor to convey lassitude and lack of affect while still meeting the work's high energy needs. It's powerful, how, as the story unfolds, Philips' eyes literally seem to unfocus as he reaches the alcoholic "click" called for in the text."
