Chicago TRIBUNE
Pursell was effortlessly assured as Falstaff, his voice focused, polished, and innately flexible. As a comic actor, he landed Falstaff’s slimy self-confidence perfectly, earning some of the evening’s biggest laughs — and there were many. With a baritone of vibrant immediacy, Quant, playing the easygoing Master Slender, likewise stood out among the cast, as he has in many a local booking.
