“The casting of Jack Hunter and Adriano Gatto is brilliant.” – Anthony Chase, theatretalkbuffalo.com

Adriano Gatto as David Frost, ICTC's "Frost/Nixon."

INTO THE RING WITH FROST AND NIXON By Anthony Chase The theater is driven by empathy. How deliciously complicated that becomes when the central figure of the play is Richard III or Richard Nixon! The current Irish Classical Theatre production of Peter Morgan’s 2006 play, Frost/Nixon, taunts us with the suggestion that one of the… Read more »

3-1/2 Stars – “‘Frost Nixon'” dazzling, humorous & timely” – Ben Siegel, The Buffalo News

Jack Hunter in ICTC's "Frost/Nixon"

by Ben Siegel, Published March 2, 2019 Theater is at its best when it uses history to illuminate current times. A great historical play reminds us … that corruption is a timeless craft, that it’s always the cover-up that will get you, and that politics is all optics. Peter Morgan’s “Frost/Nixon” checks all of these… Read more »

“dream team cast” in “Lady Windermere’s Fan,” Cherie Messore, buffalotheatreguide.com

Davidow, Witten and LoConti star in "Lady Windermere's Fan" at ICTC.

Posted June 4, 2018 Ah, the things we do for love. We keep secrets. Maybe tell a fib or two. And perhaps we try to protect the object of our affection from hurting over something that can’t be undone. Love, honor, and the subtleties of deception combine to form the delectable story of Oscar Wilde’s… Read more »

Irish Classical Theatre: A dream come true for two Dublin-born brothers

In 1985, two Dublin-born brothers, Vincent and Chris O’Neill, internationally acclaimed actors and former members of Ireland’s celebrated Abbey Theatre, found themselves in Buffalo, New York performing Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot in the dining room of a local hotel. They were enthusiastically embraced by Western New York audiences and critics and, together with fellow Dubliners Josephine Hogan and the late Dr. James Warde, formed the Irish Classical Theatre Company. Performing on various rented stages until a permanent home was established at the Calumet Arts Café, ICTC became the fastest growing theatre in the region and led to the building of its new home, The Andrews Theatre, which opened its doors in January of 1999 in Buffalo’s Theatre District.
