An OFFIE nomination for ROBERT MOUNTFORD
Hats off ROBERT MOUNTFORD for his well-deserved OFFIE Best Supporting Actor nomination! And it’s not too late to see Rob's delightful and inventive ‘Sir Andrew Aguecheek’ in TWELFTH NIGHT @orangetreetheatre as it’s on until 24th January. Robert Mountford’s clubbable but baffled Sir Andrew Aguecheek - Mark Lawson - THE GUARDIAN**** Clive Francis turns in yet another scene-stealing display, this time as a rumpled Toby Belch who doesn’t seem to go anywhere without a hip flask. His exchanges with Robert Mountford’s Andrew Aguecheek, a bright young thing gone to seed, are a lesson in comic timing THE TIMES**** It is worth highlighting the comic talents of Clive Francis, who plays Sir Toby Belch, and Robert Mountford, who plays Sir Andrew Aguecheek. What a pair they are, playing off each other to create some of the funniest moments in the show with their physicality and skilled use of voice control. WEST END BEST FRIEND***** Mountford’s timing excels itself with theatre business, as tin-helmeted he pratfalls cowardice. FRINGE REVIEW UK Mountford finding a Lieutenant George energy that leavens his idiocy with an irresistible charm. Great fun, but also a set up for a ferocious heartbreaker of a sting in that unforgettable denouement. BROADWAY WORLD
