EYE WEEKLY Review:

An adaptation of one of Molière's lesser-known comedies, The Sicilian is a model Fringe show: it's short, well-acted, and has been put together with the kind of loving attention to detail — everything from the costumes to the programme layout to the (deliberately) out-of-tune music — that few other productions try to match. As Don Pedro, a megalomaniacal husband who keeps his wife locked up inside his mansion, Brandon McGibbon perfectly walks the line between broad comedy and caricature — there are some delightfully anachronistic line readings — and the rest of the cast is equally strong. It's a treat.

Adraste and Isidore are madly in love, but so long as Isidore’s husband watches over her like a hawk, they cannot be together. Adraste and his trusty servant pull out all the stops to free Isidore from her husband’s clutches – but will it be enough? Molière’s “The Sicilian” is a little-known comedic gem by a master of the form.
