"I first met Jerrold Scott in London some years back: he studied with me on the RADA Advanced Shakespeare Course of which I was the director and principal tutor...Since then, I have seen a number of his productions. They have showed me how perceptive Jerrold is as a director: how he revels in the sensitive display of detail; and yet how unafraid he is of the ample theatrical gesture".--Geoff Bullen, former Director of BA Acting, Royal Academy of Dramatic Art |
"If Present Laughter is the last full production to occupy the venerable Brooks Theatre stage at the Cleveland Play House, consider it a blessing. The Brooks’ intimate brick-walled, wood-floored space has been home to countless shows. And this crisp and thoroughly delightful work...comes across as a love letter both to the Brooks and to the Play House in general. |
