"Newcomer
Dorothy Blakey handled her first major role with accuracy and
command." |

Burlington." |

"The
rest of the cast . . . were overshadowed by Dorothy Blakey as the
shrewish nagging wife of the Sheriff." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
". .
. . . it is Dorothy Lees-Blakey's Madame Arcati who steals the show.
A talented actress (she appears by special permission of Canadian
Actors' Equity), Ms Lees-Blakey portrays Madame Arcati as fervent,
jaunty, bossy and just on the shy side of certifiably insane.
With her outlandish get-ups and her headmistress-style platitudes,
this foolish medium is a most unlikely link to the supernatural ,
but a guaranteed link to laughs for the audience." |

Madge (with Sir)
in
The Dresser
"Dorothy Lees-Blakey, who composed the haunting theme music, plays the role of the stage manager. Subtle undercurrents of tension and lack of sympathy to
Sir's breakdown shown in her portrayal, leave us stunned by her depth of feeling in the last scene."
