Reviews of The Hatmaker’s Wife at Theater J
Here is what they are saying about the show:
*Washington Post, “…The hatmaker is Hetchman (played in riotous, larger-than-life caricature by Maboud Ebrahimzadeh)…”
*CityPaper, “…Ebrahimzadeh does a master class in mining, putting the maximum effort into laziness for physical comedy…. (Before seeing this, I had not laughed so much at the theater in months).”
*BroadwayWorld, “When Maboud Ebrahimzadeh’s Hetchman is introduced, he plays the physical comedy of the hatmaker’s laziness in a way that’s both hilarious and incredibly telling; over time, he reveals other aspects of the character, drawing the audience in without ever losing the core of the man who refuses to compromise his comfort, even for his most beloved possessions….”
*MDTheatreGuide, “A strange, modern fairytale…sure to enchant any theatergoer seeking whimsy and tragedy in equal parts.”
*DCTheatreArts, “Round House Theatre and Olney Theatre Center provided the audience with a multipage printed program full of highly relevant historical information about the complicated market of London newspapers.”
