“Matt Daniels gives his all playing Lord Capulet as the bigger than life paterfamilias of a wealthy family. He’s the kind of voluble bearded guy you might find on a Kentucky road behind the wheel of his Silverado; genial when he’s pleased, terrifying when he’s crossed.”
“Matt Daniels brilliantly adds a country twang and explosive temper to turn Lord Capulet into the production’s driving force, and he also slyly appears as servant Samson.”
“In a harrowing scene, as Juliet refuses her father’s demands to marry another, Matt Daniels gives new meaning to the term, “patriarchal dominance” (read: toxic masculinity) as Juliet, and her mother and female nurse cower at the explosion of his emotions. Daniels shows once again his versatility at being able to play any role and he completely immerse himself. It’s stunning to watch with its timeless realism.”
“As Lord Capulet, Juliet’s father, Matt Daniels blisters his anguished daughter with a fiery my-way-or-the-highway speech viewers won’t soon forget.”
