‘McCarty’s delivery of the famous speech in which he recounts Cleopatra’s greeting of Antony on a perfumed, jeweled barge is so vivid you can almost see it.’  St. Louis Post-Dispatch  ‘A splendid job as Enobarbus…’  BroadwayWorld.com  

'McCarty's performance is the most fun to watch.  His Roach is manic, childlike, and corny until the moment when he explodes.  The fellow convicts' interplay is the heart of the show... '  KC Metropolis  ' His nervous, ferret-like energy makes it seem that Roach is on the verge of bursting out of his skin at any moment.  Or that if he just keeps talking, his execution day will never come.'  Kansas City Star
