“Stredel brings a roguish swagger to Tom but he can lose it in a heartbeat, succumbing to tears that make him seem like a frightened boy.”
- Louis B Hobson. Toronto Sun
“Diego Stredel and Helen Belay shine as Antony and Cleopatra, respectively: they seem made to play these roles, embodying each character’s internal conflict between passion and duty. These actors aren’t burdened by Dryden’s dense language, which could easily sound archaic and awkward to modern ears. Rather, they pull the audience into the drama as both Antony and Cleopatra descend into the madness of doomed love.”
- Katherine Decoste. The Gateway
“Diego Stredel plays rihannaboi here, and what he does with a webcam, a script and not much more – no other actors, no audience, just a few chatters who logged on to make comments – is wondrous.
“…but Stredel imbues rihannaboi with such authenticity an urgency that he makes the story feel fresh.”
“Right from the first moment he appears onscreen…Stredel grabs your attention and doesn’t let go until rihannaboi95 comes to its poignant conclusion.”
- Stephen Hunt. Calgary Herald
