"But the Chaplin-esque shenanigans of Peter A. Carey and Ilyse Robbins
work well for the Dromios; a great deal of what they do — cane
twirling, funny-walking, and giggly nodding — is adorable and
appropriate. They also, because of the distinctive Little Tramp suits,
are viably interchangeable (Carey has a heavier eyebrow and is sexually
bolder than Robbins's nervous, insouciant Charlie)." - Carolyn Clay, The Boston Phoenix
"The illusion is uncanny. They have managed to put the style, stance,
gestures, inflections, timing and facial twitches of those old stars on
stage without sacrificing the bouyant unreality of their age. And they
do it twice. It's one thing to see Peter A. Carey's Dromio dance and
flutter about as Chaplin's tramp; it's another to see Ilyse Robbins
match him, detail for detail." - Larry Stark, Theatre Mirror
