Ames Adamson as Malvolio

"Ames Adamson is a devilishly delicious scene-stealer as Malvolio, the vain and vulnerable tragic steward.Duped by the carousing Sir Toby Belch and his cronies, the foolish pawn finds himself wooing a startled countess with misguided ardor. Adamson (repeating the role he originated in the 2002 Prospect Theater Co. production) not only captures the broad comic cartoon of the character, but reveals his subtly tragic core. He also turns "Malvolio's Tango" into an artful, amusing spin."

Excerpted from the review by Robert L. Daniels

"Ames Adamson is dandy as Malvolio turns from finicky secretary into an out-of-his-mind lovesick fool.

The smile he adopts is priceless. Think of what Teddy Roosevelt's would have been after a minor stroke."

Excerpted from "Doing Right By the Bard" By Peter Filichia

Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy: At the Shakespeare Theatre, Ames Adamson was wonderfully weird in “Love's Labour's Lost” and was even stranger in “Illyria.” Honorable mention: Eric Hoffmann, the consummate supporting actor, for brief but scene-stealing comic roles in “Love's Labour's Lost” and “Macbeth” at the Shakespeare Theatre.

Hardest Working Man in Show Business: Adamson, who in 2004 reprised his one-man showcase, “Circumference of a Squirrel,” at Playwrights, where he also starred in “Foreign Exchange.” On his union breaks, he played supporting roles in “Love's Labour's Lost” and “Illyria” at the Shakespeare Theatre.
