Victor Villar-Hauser

Reviews

Livelyarts.com by Richmond Shepard - September 24, 2007
“Victor Villar-Hauser as the intruder has great physical capabilities and plasticity, which, in the course of the play, he displays with energy, verve, and total commitment to the absurdity.”

THE NEW YORK TIMES by Jason Zinoman - January 25, 2005
“…the lovable loser Darren is probably the most sympathetic and potentially redeemable…credit for that is due to the performance by Victor Villar-Hauser, which injects an incongruously sweet vulnerability into an otherwise nihilistic show.”

THE NEW YORK TIMES by Bruce Weber- October 2, 2001
“...As Ray, Victor Villar-Hauser has a haunting grin and a bounding, physical manner that conveys the kind of obstinate misapprehension of reality that those who want to help the mentally ill find so deeply frustrating.”
"...the actors...are individually intelligent and thorough in their performances. The cast is the best thing about the show..."

"Marvelously acted!"
"It's the inaugural show for Stiff Upper Lip, and an auspicious one, too."

nytheatre.com by Martin Denton - June 23, 2003
“…A remarkable tour de force star performance by Victor Villar-Hauser…supremely edgy!”

Danbury News-Times by Chesley Plemmons - June 29, 2003
"…Villar-Hauser does a splendid job walking a tightrope between sanity and madness."

IRISH ECHO by Joseph Hurley - September 26-Oct 2, 2001
"…Victor Villar-Hauser, is utterly convincing and extremely moving as the compromised, inherently defenseless Ray…”

Off Off Broadway Review by Doug DeVita
"…Victor Villar-Hauser gave Ray, the schizophrenic main character, a heartbreaking charm, and negotiated every twist and turn of his character's quicksilver personality with astonishing ease…”
