"Hilberry actors struggle to find the soul in Tennessee Williams' 'Summer and Smoke'"

by John Monaghan

Theatre reviewer Monaghan finds that the Hilberry cast members passed Williams' "long, talky and something of an endurance test" but that they often missed the passion that lies beneath the surface of Summer and Smoke. "The Hilberry production boasts mostly solid performances from more than a dozen student actors," Monaghan writes.

"Summer, smoke and seasons of love at the Hilberry"

by Michael H. Margolin

Reviewer Margolin praises the cast, costuming and set design of the Hilberry's 2012 production of Summer and Smoke. He particularly notes that Tennessee Williams' trademark dialogue was delivered well. "Coming out of the Hilberry Theatre...I found myself slipping into the cadence of Williams' dialogue. ...This is a great part of the success of this production."
