THE PERFORMANCES OF ALEXANDER BARNETT
HAVE BEEN ACCLAIMED THROUGHOUT EUROPE.


Vienna: THE PRICE
Alexander Barnett possesses a towering comedic ability.     Wiener Zeitung 
                                                                                          

Antwerp
: A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE
The role of the tormented Eddie was magnificently played by Alexander Barnett.      Gazat van Antwerpen 
                                                                                       

Stockholm
: COLD STORAGE
He gave a dazzling, funny performance.  He sounded the depths of the charachter.      Morgenbladet

Berlin: KING LEAR
Barnett's acting is deliberate and forceful, yet sensitive and profound.  During the storm scene and in Lear's madness, he reaches his peak in his mastery of Shakespearian poetry.      Berliner Zeitung 
                                                                                                         

Munich
: KING LEAR
His physical and mental agility, his powerless rage and his nonetheless majestic stature in grief and insanity resulted in a most impressive performance.     Merkur-Münchener
                                                                                      
Paris: MACBETH
Barnett gives a titanic performance as Macbeth.      Le Monde 
                                                                                                           
Frankfurt: MACBETH
His Macbeth is an ice-cold angel of death with no understanding of, or insight into his own psychology.   Allgemeine Zeitung 
                                                             

Zurich
: OTHELLO
The diabolical actions of Iago were realized by Alexander Barnett in a performance that was nothing short of virtuoso.      Neue Zürcher Zeitung

Amsterdam: THE ZOO STORY
The audience was especially impressed by the strong and unusual dramatic use of movement by which Barnett brilliantly presented the figure of Jerry.      Het Parool
                                                                                                
Helsinki: ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST
Barnett is extraordinary, putting his heart and soul into the role of McMurphy.     Helsingin Sanomat 
                                                                                        



Glengarry Glen Ross

Alexander Barnett (as Shelly Levene) invests the character whose "bad luck runs in streaks," who then gets hot, scoring a Pyrrhic victory with a poignant sense of need that reveals a life of obligation outside the amoral confines of his job.   The heart of Mr. Barnett's work is in sync with the playwright's nonjudgmental view of all the salesmen trapped in a demeaning system.     The New York Times
