Reviews
The Events,
Produced by Pi Theatre, Written By David Greig
“He has a powerful, lithe physicality and the ability to make The Boy’s callow madness coldly terrifying.” — Jerry Wasserman, Vancouver Sun
“Ennenberg embodies evil; […his] physicality in this role is terrific – his violent dance moves, his punchy push-ups, his angry stance.” —Marsha Lederman, Globe and Mail
“You’re a ball of energy!” —Richard Wolfe, Director
“Ennenberg performs a dance that is so full of barely contained rage that it’s chillingly portentous.” —Jo Ledingham, Inside Vancouver
“The Boy is far from a sympathetic character, but Douglas Ennenberg makes him compelling; he also shifts, chameleonlike, into a dozen other characters, each distinct and convincing.” —Kathleen Oliver, Georgia Strait
“Physically, Ennenberg is impressively responsive. As The Boy imagines being a Viking high on hallucinogens going berserk or transforming into a fox, his animal familiar, it feels like the actor is inhabiting those experiences on a cellular level. Ennenberg inhabits more quotidian subtleties, too” —Colin Thomas
The Nether,
Produced by Redcurrant Collective,
Written by Jennifer Haley
“Lam’s five-member cast is terrific […] Douglas Ennenberg imbues Woodnut with an openhearted innocence.”
— Kathleen Oliver, Georgia Strait
“Holding our hands through this difficult subject matter is the terrific ensemble of Linden Banks, David Bloom, Douglas Ennenberg, Lissa Neptuno, and Julia Siedlanowska. Maybe it is a defense mechanism given the topic, but under Lam’s direction the performances are somehow simultaneously realistic and detached; the result is an almost indescribable reaction to these characters.”
— Mark Robins, North Shore News
Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play, Produced by Little Mountain Lion Theatre, Written by Anne Washburn
“… a ridiculously talented cast in one of the best productions of the year.”
— Jerry Wasserman, Vancouver Sun
“Douglas Ennenberg is a standout ad Gibson, a well-traveled survivor with a surprisingly handy Gilbert-and-Sullivan obsession.”
— John Lucas, Georgia Strait
“Douglas Ennenberg’s understated performance as an intruder named Gibson is one of the touchstones of the first act.”
— Colin Thomas
