PRESS "Mr. Wilder is amazing at making us feel that we're in the presence of an almost normal person and then in a flash he reveals the ugly perversion that lies underneath..." - South Coast Today "Bates Wilder, who gave a chilling performance in the title role of Killer Joe at Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater several seasons back, is the other standout..."- Boston Phoenix “Among the hand-picked, sparkling ensemble, I particularly enjoyed Bates Wilder as a sort of Frankenstein monster who has gone to mime class..." -Theatre Mirror "Wilder's portrayal of the killer can be equally chilling and moving. He makes the audience empathize a little for his own suffering; not an easy feat given the circumstances."- Eagle Tribune "And Bates Wilder will be a revelation to anyone who's only familiar with his always entertaining working comedies. 'Frozen' exercises his chops for drama. He's a cauldron of tics and twitches as the pathetic Ralph, beyond redemption, although Wilder and playwright Lavery may find a crack of humanity in him before the end."- Community Tab Newspaper "Bates Wilder is totally compelling throughout!"-PMP Network Theatre Reviews "Wilder was the best in ages..."-Bay Windows "Versatile Wilder is a very convincing villain. While outwardly stone-cold, his actual fragility is evident...."-Aisle Say Boston "Bates Wilder presents killer Ralph Wantage as the banality of amorality personified....he's a sinkhole of guilt waiting to be pushed into.."- Boston Phoenix "Bates Wilder as the killer Ralph succeeds in playwright Bryony Lavery's desire to turn the stereotype of the criminal genius on his head, but still comes of as a chillingly dangerous predator. Wilder takes the audience and Agnetha (Adrianne Hewlett) to the edge of feeling pity for Ralph, but more interestingly (and much more realistically) never lets us forget that he's a killer."- Edge Boston |
