What the critics say…

 

Director Jeff S. Dailey, in a scholarly presentation, offered a traditional and gripping representation of what was a popular play in Marlowe’s time, but which has been unduly neglected today….yet Director Dailey and the capable actors brought out all the subtleties possibly inherent in the text.  The entire play was fast-paced and dramatic….

Dr. Jeff Dailey, trained by Mike Nichols and Jose Quintero, has evidently learned a thing or two from those master directors….

Michael Elias, writing about Tamburlaine the Great, Part II in The Marlowe Society of America Newsletter

 

Jeff Dailey in this, his sixth production of a Marlowe play, shows great respect for the text.  The play demands it…Dailey allows these speeches to ring.

The telling of this tall tale moved along at a good clip, a credit to Marlowe’s dramaturgy and Jeff Dailey’s directing.

John Chatterton, writing about Doctor Faustus in The Off-Off Broadway Review

 

Jeff S. Dailey has directed…this Greek tragedy with a clear authority of the language and its thematic intentions.

Jennifer Rathbone, writing about Iphigenia in Tauris in TheaterOnline.com

 

The production contained several surprising gestures that deepened and complemented the text of the play.

Mr. Dailey's direction was certainly smooth and imaginative…One could see the respect Mr. Dailey had for the play…

Sheila Mart, writing about The Massacre at Paris in The Off-Off Broadway Review

 

Jeff Dailey's production for the American Theatre of Actors was not a bad evening at all. It moved briskly… He also made quietly eerie atmospheric use of the "urban amphitheater" quality of A.T.A.'s courtyard performance space; utilizing the fire escape on the adjoining building as Tamburlaine's podium, for instance.
