"...The action moves smoothly across designer James Fouchard's giant gazebo-like set, with Pulling telling the tale as he and Augusta hop the Orient Express, alight in Istanbul, flee to Paraguay, etc. Cars are suggested by actors in chairs lurching during turns, and you can feel the tight passageways of railway cars as Bill Largess -- the most frequent player of Pulling -- flattens himself against an imaginary wall to get by."

"...Even those already in on the joke are likely to be amused all over again by Rep Stage's finely polished, season-opening production of the play, which uses only four male actors to portray more than 25 characters — an offbeat touch in keeping with what remains a disarmingly offbeat story. If Havergal did not fashion an instant classic, he managed to preserve the flavor of the original, while never settling for just an actors' showcase."

"...The muse that occasionally smiles down on theater-goers has decreed that those of us who missed "Travels With My Aunt" at Rep Stage back in 1997 now have a second chance to hop aboard. From my perspective at last weekend's opening, there won't be any disgruntled ticket-buyers at Howard Community College."

"...Travels with My Aunt, is a fun and lively conversation between Pulling and his aunt. He may be a man, but she gives him the tools his needs to make sure the rest of his life is happy and fulfilled. Giles Havergal’s adaptation and Kasi Campbell’s direction create a lovely production."

Havergal’s decision to do the entire play with four actors is brilliantly imaginative and exciting. Boldly, he has all four actors line up to play Henry serially; new Henrys pop up all over the stage, with perfect timing, and while they do the old Henry becomes someone else, often before our eyes.
