Dobama’s ‘Marie Antoinette’
promises cake, provides breadcrumbs.

MARIE ANTOINETTE tells the tale of a
king and queen who are totally unsuited for their roles and the part they
seemingly played in inciting the French Revolution. The author’s adaptation of the dialogue to include modern language
and idioms opens the door to drawing a parallel between that period and today,
for those interested in probing beyond the historical story. The production is well done and makes
for good theater.
Mark Horning
At the beginning of the show everything is light,
funny and rock and roll. As the play
goes on it turns very dark very fast.
While well acted and truthfully reflecting the life and times of two
historical figures from an unfortunate time in human history this would not be
a show for the delicately minded and especially not for children.

From the staging angle alone, Dobama’s Marie Antoinette is a blockbuster. But the playwright’s pro forma discussion of weighty issues at the end feels a little too pat and entirely out-of-synch with the rest of the script.

Dobama
Theatre's vapid 'Marie Antoinette' is missing style, substance, along with
those royal heads.
