Romeo and Juliet

Review by Ian Reed
A Juliet for all seasons

Monique Vukovic is surely one of the all-time great Juliets, whose “infinite variety” encompassed every Shakespearean heroine first as the traditional Juliet, the radiant, enraptured womanchild; then Ophelia-like driven to distraction by news of Romeo’s banishment; then like Cleopatra in pawing at Romeo’s body after a night of love-making; as Joan of Arc in sacrificing herself to a heart-stopping potion; and as Lady Macbeth anticipating she might ”dash out my desperate brains.”

Vukovic was equally an instrument of heightened passion and of piercing Shakespearean logic.

Monique Vukovic, whose Juliet captivates from her first wide-eyed speech

god’s ear
Review by Dorothy Chansky

Ted and Mel’s daughter is played by an adult, the gamine Monique Vukovic, who looks a little like Bjork and who conveys a delicious innocence laced with joie de vivre, as well as a wisdom beyond her years.

Review by David Lefkowitz

Bjork-like Monique Vukovic makes an eerily convincing child

Peter and Vandy

Review by David Finkle

DiPietro and Vukovic have mastered the slice-of-life realism that Tom Noonan has made a speciality.

Review by Les Gutman

Both actors are impeccable. I've seen both before, but they've never been more convincing. It's not clear over what period of time Peter and Vandy transpires, but it's long enough that both characters have become different people. The loss of buoyancy in the performances is palpable.

Three Sisters

Irish Adaptation by Lucy Caldwell

Review by J. Peter Bergman

Vukovic handled herself extremely well in every situation, seemingly growing lovelier through the play as her spinsterhood seemed more and more assured, almost a physical challenge to the men and women in the district to outdo her in single blessedness.

The Shape of Something Squashed

Review by Eric J. Grimm

Watching Vukovic, with her little girl voice and Judi Dench face, fight for her creative life is a thrill.

Review by Dmitry Zvonkov

Performances are inspired and crafted with precision, and the intimate black box staging makes them all the more immediate and intense. Hermoine is a vile throughout, yet Vukovic manages to make her sympathetic without diluting her character’s repulsiveness.

I Want You To

Review by Phillip Hopkins

As Michael and Anna, Forman and Vukovic perform the kind of magic that only gifted actors can
