Goering at Nuremberg

When I'm not writing... or directing... or editing... or raising a family... I'm acting. This weekend I'll be playing a bit in Goering at Nuremberg, a very cool piece of theater by Romulus Linney. He's best known as Hollywood actress Laura Linney's dad, but he'd prefer to be remembered as an acclaimed, heavyweight playwright.

Goering is anything but heavy going. It moves fast, has plenty of clever moments and allows the star (Clarence Felder) to do his thing. Here are some nice things that people have said about the show:

REVIEWS

"......Exhilarating... gripping tour-de-force for its charismatic star, Clarence Felder, whose bravura performance brings Hermann Goering so vividly to life, he will leave you breathless... played with flame-throwing self-confidence... Felder is a larger-than-death villain."

THE NEW YORK POST

"A riveting portrait...from the moment he appears looking like a Nazi Rumpelstiltskin with a voice that could perform surgery, Felder dominates the stage..."

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

"Hard-hitting...all the complexities of Goering are on view. For Clarence Felder who plays the role, it's a tour-de-force..."

THE JEWISH POST & OPINION

"Fascinating...a provocative, thoughtful, examination...Clarence Felder delivers a strong portrayal, letting us see the cunning as well as his self-aggrandizement."

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"As Hermann Goering, Clarence Felder turned in one of the great virtuoso performances in Festival history...he takes the stage like a tank with all guns blazing..."

THE POST & COURIER, Charleston, SC

"Gripping...a compelling, frightening, not to mention excellent drama, propelled by multi-layered content and excellent acting. The standard of excellence is set by Clarence Felder as Hermann Goering...powerful, first-rate drama."

THE STATE, Columbia, S.C.
