What's being said about Iguana:

"It is an exploration of the human condition at its most vulnerable, and is tenderly and entertainingly delivered, and well worth watching." -The Charlebois Post

"This production of Night of the Iguana is a strong finish to the Hart House Theatre’s season." The Varsity

"Ferry truly shines as the down-and-out protagonist...Ferry showcases both flashiness and despondence with such ease as he effortlessly makes the audience feel his suffering while still endearing himself to them with his charm. His delivery often comes across as completely improvised, not in the sense of being unprepared, but in that his performance is so natural it hardly seems like acting at all." The Medium

"The audience is treated to a superbly designed cabana scene...Combined with the excellent production, the performances by the entire cast are strong and balanced and afford the audience the ability to follow the story carefully, undistracted." The Charlebois Post

"The Night of the Iguana is a touching, and surprisingly funny, exploration of human relationships. The cast does a fine job under director Jeremy Hutton, putting a fresh spin on this classic story of spiritual healing." Theatromania

"The Hart House production, directed by Jeremy Hutton, is elevated by some wonderful design and great performances...David Ferry turns in a richly textured portrayal as Shannon." Mooney on Theatre

"While there are a number of standout performances, each member of the ensemble cast adds his or her own carefully nuanced contribution to the storyline, so that even such minor characters as the slightly alcoholic tour manager (Tim Walker) resonate with the audience long after they have left the stage." The Medium

"The cast of Night of the Iguana truly exceeds all expectations. It feels as if the audience is being transported to the grimy Mexican hotel and listening in on conversations between real people, rather than watching actors perform on a stage." The Medium
