Selected ReviewsA STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
"A stand-out performance" Carly Maga –The Toronto Star "Amy Rutherford is a mesmerizing Blanche" Paula Citron –Scrutiny "Rutherford gives it her all, as the role demands, and nails the performance." Ron Johnson –TRNTO "Rutherford riding and flying on Williams' text is reason enough to see this Streetcar." Drew Rowsome –MyGayToronto AS YOU LIKE IT “Rutherford is absolutely wonderful as Rosalind coaxing every ounce of comedy and humanity from Shakespeare’s words. She commands attention every time she is on the stage. She even provides a stirring epilogue. Her supporting cast is also very good, but such a compelling Rosalind allows the production to attain a very high level. Ron Johnson – Post City "It is refreshing to see such a strong female character carried by such a strong female actor in a period piece." Jennifer McKinley – Mooney on Theatre OUR CLASS “Amy Rutherford’s Dora, a young Jewish wife who dreamed of silver screen fame, is note-perfect in recounting the tragedies that befall her.” Steve Fisher – The Torontoist "Amy Rutherford breaks hearts as the heartbreaker Dora." J. Kelly Nestruck –The Globe and Mail "Amy Rutherford is a heart rending as Dora..." Christopher Hoile – Stage Door INFINITY "Amy Rutherford’s performance of Carmen is emotional, sometimes tempestuous, occasionally irrational, but always human. Carmen’s heart is so obvious in Rutherford’s sensitive playing of her." Lynn Slotkin – The Slotkin Letter "Young and Rutherford do beautiful work." The Vancouver Sun DIVISADERO "Amy Rutherford is outstanding as this panther-like creature...when Rutherford performs a broken-apart version of the Clash's London Calling, with Rutledge plucking an electric guitar with aggressive dissatisfaction from the side of the stage, it is dynamite. I was floored, anyway." J. Kelly Nestruck – The Globe and Mail "Amy Rutherford is a mesmerizing Bridget." Jon Kaplan – Now Magazine FOUR MINUTES “Amy Rutherford brings the most human warmth to the movie as Bannister's love interest, Moyra Jacobson. Her smile is unequivocal, and when she is roused to tears, the movie evokes much-needed hints of joy and inspiration.” Globe DIRECTOR'S CUT “Rutherford throws herself into the role with remarkable physical and emotional abandon, hitting the satirical notes and a lot more along the way.” Kamal al Solaylee – The Globe and Mail |
