…Bob Wilson truly taps into his character’s mad desperation.
Zac Thompson, Time Out Chicago (about No Darkness Round My Stone)
And as Louis/Lullaby, Bob Wilson is simply marvelous, his sadly comic and understated demeanor imbued with unbearable loss.
Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune (about No Darkness Round My Stone)
Circus-Szalewski, John Gray, and Bob Wilson are all appealing performers and psychologically nimble enough to bounce convincingly through Visniec’s sometimes surreal dialogue.
Justin Hayford, The Reader (about Old Clown Wanted)
Szalewski’s rubber faced performance is ably complemented by Bob Wilson’s menacing Peppino, reminiscent of a grouchy David Lynch patriarch.
