The Winter’s Tale | Shakespeare In Delaware Park, Buffalo, NY | Summer 2024
Character: Leontes
Directed by Kate Powers
“Lendzian as Leontes (Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale) gives another masterful performance. He is the most versatile male actor in town…Daniel has the Shakespeare chops to inhabit this mad man so intelligibly and completely, we seem to be watching him lose his grip, wit by wit… Lendzian speaks the verse with fluid naturalness, and doesn’t just blast off, he travels through the suspicion, to insecurity, to incredulity, on his way up to diabolical vengeance. Lendzian is the main reason to see this show although there are many…His convincing transformation into a man consumed and possessed by his inner demons and then morphing into a repentant King, Husband, and Father is as smooth as butter.”
