cherry docs | responses

[Kenton] Klassen is a revelation. His Mike wears a skin at once loathsome and charismatic, and strips it off in jagged, brittle layers."
- David Johnston

"This is a pressure cooker of a play: a two-hander in the intimate setting of Pacific Theatre. A minimal set. No special effects. Just scorching interaction between Mike and Daniel."

"It’s impossible to walk away from Cherry Docs without questioning the state of one’s own intolerance."
-Jo Ledingham

"Kenton Klassen gives a compellingly real portrayal of the skinhead Mike.”
- Mark Robins, Vancouver Presents

"The fact that the play was written over 20 years ago dulls none of its incendiary actions; instead, it highlights its urgency and wisdom in a current climate of social unease.”
Danny Mak, The Georgia Straight

“Voth is powerful and convincing as the young lawyer […] Klassen portrays a skinhead with frightening clarity.”
- Lorraine Graves, The Richmond Sentinel
