FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Death of England: Michael

Review: DEATH OF ENGLAND: DELROY, @sohoplace

From: BroadwayWorld By: Alexander Cohen Date: 2024-07-31

9 / 10

Essiedu really is a force of nature. Totally at ease, working the audience like a stand-up comic, then, with fox-like agility, backstabbing them with guttural force and working up to a symphonic crescendo. For Michael I noted that Roy Williams’s brilliance as a writer lies in the way he delicately coils loving intimacy into the character’s DNA. Not matter how tempestuous the storm clouds of paranoia and hate are, a ray of light can always shine through. Watching Essiedu find that light is breath taking.
