The Chicago Tribune posted a review of the play my brother is currently in. Overall the reviewer seemed to really like the show - though he seems less than thrilled with the scenery.
For my money, the only important part of the review is at the end of the review, " In the title role, the handsome Kevin McKillip goes for the emotional approach, treating Hamlet like a regular guy in a constant emotional crisis, mostly eschewing any interpretation involving irony or intellectual manipulation. The downside of this is a certain repetitiveness and insufficient sense of the level of ideas in play, but its upside is a palpable vulnerability and a clear link to human feeling.
Either way, McKillip kept the audience with him all night, no mean feat given the nipping and eager air."
Way to go Kevin.
