NOTABLE PRODUCTIONS

"The cast handles Baker’s gentle comedy with evident affection. Echebiri’s Fawcett comes alive in his natural habitat, while Gillette’s Pillatt has the constrained movements of one who thinks a leisurely walk is a waste of time.

...“Partnership” charms, offering a gentle reminder about not letting work overtake your life. Some notions should never fall out of fashion.

The New York Times Darryn King

"The cast, un­der the brisk di­rec­tion of Jack­son Grace Gay, brings lively col­or­ing to all the char­ac­ters, with the brac­ingly cyn­i­cal, or per­haps just re­al­is­tic, Maisie bring­ing a crisply funny snap to the play’s nicely turned de­noue-ment.

Al­though Maisie has dis­missed him as a “pig,” Mr. Gillette’s Pil­latt—look­ing rather like Ralph Fi­ennes smelling some­thing un­sa­vory—is re­ally more of a prig, al­beit a gen­er­ally ge­nial one.”

“It’s impressively directed by Jackson Grace Gay, helming an exceptionally strong production despite Mint’s limited budget.

The cast is first-rate across the board. Several of the actors have extensive Broadway credits—most notably Christiane Noll as an imperious aristocrat in what I would regard as a wonderful cameo. Other standouts include Gene Gillette as the priggish Pillatt, delivering a nifty impression of The Simpsons’ sniveling Mr. Burns; Gina Daniels, playing a worldly seamstress, does excellent work along with Olivia Gilliatt as Kate’s friend and confidante representing female pragmatism to the extreme. And Joshua Echebiri is a most convincing breath of fresh air as a young man intoxicated by nature.”

“Jackson Grace Gay's production is filled with performances that are witty and perfectly attuned to period style. Haider is a real find; I'm already making a list of classical roles that would suit her perfectly. (What a Vivie Warren she would make!) ....George Pillatt (As played by Gene Gillette, with one hand on a hip and another on his walking stick, looks suitable for framing and hanging in the National Gallery.) In addition to Gillette, offering his proposal in a silken murmur that suggests an indecent pleasure in profit, and Gilliatt, mixing charm and ruthlessness in equal measures, there are fine contributions from Gina Daniels as the shop's all-seeing voice of reason and Madeline Seidman as a weepy clerk whose man problems cause her to frequently turn on the waterworks. In a bit of luxury casting, Christiane Noll, as the shop's most high-maintenance client, shows plenty of aristocratic attitude while modeling some of Kindall Almonds most stunning costumes”

“Under Jackson Grace Gay's direction, Haider exquisitely shows the transformation of a hardened businesswoman to a flighty romantic. She is well matched with Gillette, who plays Pillat as a buttoned-up, meticulously controlled entrepreneur, who wears a suit and tie as if it were a second skin.”
