 | | Kissel, so impressive in the past two Commonwealth Shakespeare Company productions, adopts a faux Royal Shakespeare Company accent that at once captures the roots of the play in ''Hamlet,'' in which RandG are minor players, and simultaneously drives home Stoppard's more modernistic concerns with being and nothingness, Beckett and Godot, high humor and low. |
 | | Kissel turns what could be a stock opportunity for theatrical jealousy into a tour-de-force performance that reveals the jealous king's problems to be virtually pathological. |
 | | Kissel, however, is such a fine actor that Orsino's thwarted passion, however egotistical and self-destructive, nonetheless seems potent and deep. |
