PERFORMANCE REVIEWS

EVERY BRILLIANT THING

Times Standard

"English morphs completely... completely inhabiting the narrator of his character's life..."

​

"He's indeed one of the most talented, and truly gifted, performers you'll ever have the chance to see in Humboldt County."

​

"It’s obvious that, 'Every Brilliant Thing' is much more than an ordinary play to see during what could be a melancholy holiday season for some. But it’s worth it. And William English III is much more than an “ordinary” actor in what he himself brings to it."

​

"His performance and this play have been added to my artistic list of 'Brilliant Things' you mustn't miss in 2019."

Time Standard / North Coast Journal

"the young soldier in the opening sequence represents Vietnam-era Hollenbeck, played in scenes with intense vulnerability by William English III."

​

"Hollenbeck was that terrified, cynical, old-before-his-time 18-year-old boy, played here by William English III in a performance that yoyos heartstoppingly between bravado and desperation."

PRODIGAL SON | JIM QUINN

North Coast Journal

"English is quite simply astounding in the role of Jim Quinn. He perfectly embodies the contradictions and messy chaos of adolescence, ricocheting between melodramatic challenges to authority, and a desperate fear that his own self is wholly inadequate to the goals his ego needs him to achieve." 

MARJORIE PRIME | WALTER

North Coast Journal

"At the opposite end of the emotional spectrum, English excels in his unwavering logic and relentless sincerity as Walter, as empty of human feeling as a Vulcan."

EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL | ASH

The Urge

"As Ash, English does a remarkable job channeling the character Bruce Campbell made famous - and not just with the slicked-back hair and bloody flannel."
