Tom Baker:
A Baker’s Dozen Theatre Reviews
A
Boat In The Back Yard
"Tom
Baker plays the strange brooding old man with the boat-dream who makes strange
observations on humanity, life and living and has some keen flashes of
humour."
The
Strongbox
"Tom
Baker as the photographer has a prodigious part and his antics, his florid
speech, his foppish and extravagant mannerisms are a joy to watch."
Hay
Fever
"What
a fine voice this man has!"
Arden
of Faversham
"Tom
Baker and Bill Greaves, the hired assassins, are most amusing and do not spare
themselves even physically In some real knock-about comedy."
Late
Night Lowther
"Mr.
Baker demonstrated a genuine flair for visual as well as verbal comedy. His take-off of a talking dog was a minor
masterpiece in Itself."
A
Woman Killed With Kindness
"Tom
Baker makes a very fine villain of Sir Francis Acton."
The
Novelist
"Tom
Baker as the Intruder evokes a corrupt three year dirty Mediterranean weekend
with some flair..."
Macbeth
"Tom
Baker's Macbeth goes through psychopathic transformations from cringing
weakness to a violent fierceness which shakes his own frame."
Feasting
With Panthers
"Tom
Baker scores impressively with his masterly portrayal of Oscar Wilde ... a
magical performance."
Treasure
Island
"Those
beaming parakeet features and huge popping eyes switch instantaneously from
wrath to obsequious leers ... It is a charming
and funny performance."
Hedda
Gabler
"The
really powerful performance Is Tom Baker's Brack:
not the
usual urbane domestic schemer but an undisguised predator who stalks her with
un-winking eyes, leaves dangerous questions hovering In the air, and signals
his successes with mirthless flashes of shark-like teeth."
Educating
Rita
"[Tom
Baker] times his lines with the skill of a variety comedian, from the dry and
wry to the exuberant."
The
Mask of Moriarty
"Tom
Baker is totally convincing and must be a sheer delight to Holmes' fans."
