Rebecca
Donvito, The Tolucan Times
"...and a
commanding performance by Titania, played by actress and mask
designer Wendy Gough. " |
 Wenzel
Jones, Frontiers
"Wendy Gough and Jason Guess rock their bosky
kingdom in their roles of Titania and Oberon..." |

Neal Weaver, LA Weekly
"…This is all pastiche, of
course, but it’s pretty good pastiche, made palatable by…
Gough’s feisty-but-loving Allegra. The skillful principal actors
woo the audience into responding with the affectionate,
indulgent amusement that often greets the Bard’s own comedies." |
 Dink
O'Neal, Backstage West
"…a lovely reprieve occurs
whenever the storyline treats us to Wendy Gough's Allegra,…
Grasping the material's prose and ever so slightly elevated
performance style while remaining true to the time period…" |

 Mary
Mallory, The Tolucan Times
"…Gough is gentle, expressive,
and energetic… " |
Beth Temkin, Entertainment Today
"..as Lady Allegra, the wordy
text becomes clearly articulated.…pretty Wendy Gough shows spunk
as Allegra…"

Mary Mallory, The Tolucan Times
"A potent
allegory for our times, Write Act Repertory Company presents a powerful
production of Shakespeare’s Cymbeline...
Wendy Gough
brings warmth and sensitivity to the princess Imogen, but also injects a
strong feistiness to the character...Socially and politically
relevant to our time,
Cymbeline powerfully chronicles the personal search for integrity and
honor in a world of hypocrisy and betrayal, in which nations either learn
from the harsh consequences of their actions or are doomed to perish." |
Jacob Clark, NoHo LA
"Wendy Gough,
as the princess Imogen, becomes the
character so fully that each word seems freshly uttered. Gough is
an actress of immensely generous talent. Her own depth and
immediacy bring out the best in any actor playing to her. Her scenes
with lover-husband Posthumus, played by Matty Ferraro, sizzle with
immediacy, making fidelity in marriage a sensual as well as a virtuous
proposition." |

Jacob Clark, NoHo LA
".... There are some wonderful actors in this piece, most notable among them
Wendy Gough as Mimi. It takes a
massively talented actor to play one without talent, and Ms.
Gough is one of LA's
best..."

Philip Brandes, LA Times
" ...
the adapter, Mr. Gene Franklin Smith...has distilled the narrative's
dizzying complexities while yet preserving both the humane social
conscience and the keen eye for personal eccentricity that so
distinguished Mr. Dickens' writing. ... galloping pace ... and a fine ensemble of 16...Meriting special commendation in this
latter regard are the compelling presences of Miss Wendy Gough as
the noble parentless heroine..."

Sandra Ross,
LA Weekly
"Smallpox,
spontaneous combustion, opium addiction, blackmail, illegitimacy and
madness are but a few of the elements in Charles Dickens satire of the
English legal system. Under Larry McCallister’s sure-handed direction, the ensemble work is superb....
Among
the huge cast, Wendy Gough, Cameron Mitchell Jr., Steve Peterson
and Steve Keyes deliver exceptionally powerful performances..." |
 Wenzel
Jones,
Back Stage West
"Gene Franklin Smith has taken on the rather ambitious
task of adapting yet another Charles Dickens tome for the stage and, in
large part, succeeds...The
primary orphan, Esther Summerson, is played with assurance and gravity
by Wendy Gough..." |
Cheddy D. Hart,
NoHo LA
"Go see it!! I said, “GO SEE IT!
...Bleak
House
... is the story of Esther Summerson, played by Wendy Gough.
(I fell in love with her just like her suitors)..."

Lawrence Devine, The Detroit Free Press
"Every bit his equal is Wendy Gough as Kate,
who comes out in a low cut blouse and a hiked up skirt looking like
Xena, Queen of the Amazons. She's so good you'd like to see her
play Kate again sometime..."

Lawrence Devine, The Detroit Free Press
"The quiet,
sensible Mrs. Arbuthnot is played beautifully by Wendy Gough. In
her black dress, she is the hen among the peacocks. Gough is so
convincing that you go right along with her when she delivers what
must be the most melodramatic line in all of Wilde: "Stay, Gerald!
He is your father!"...

Chris Garcia,
Santa Rosa Press-Democrat
" ...Both
Johnson and Wendy Gough as the Italian Duse are stellar. They
demand deference by dint of honed comedic timing and a thick,
fragrant air of unflappable aplomb." |
 |

Martin F. Kohn, The
Detroit Free Press
"As Dorine, Wendy
Gough is everywhere, mocking the pompous, encouraging true lovers and
making more sense than anybody with high energy and a winning smile." |
