You live in the skin of your roles so comfortably and you navigate scenes with nuance and texture. Keep making art because you are really special."

“Done well” is, of course, the operative phrase, and after seeing Shakespeare Orange County’s “Henry IV, Part 1” (in a brief run that closes Aug. 26), you’d be hard-pressed to name a better stage production of this drama going back as far as you like...The key roles are ideally cast... Alexandra Wright’s Lady Percy forges a convincing emotional connection with husband Hotspur."

"Acting in this production is uniformly strong. Shouse is convincingly regal as Henry IV (reminiscent of British actor Sir Ian McKellen). Shenefelt is compelling as the hot-headed Hotspur, seeking revenge for his family’s honor and sometimes romancing his wife, Lady Percy (a fitting Alexandra Wright)."

"OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY has an extended, very nice, exploratory prelude before the definitely-worth-waiting-for sizzling action dominates the stage with the equally matched, passionate Alexandra Wright and explosive Rob Shapiro as opposing lawyers...
But then, luckily for the company (and the audience), Bea calls her daughter Kate, a budding lawyer, to come home to help their company out. Kate's initial confrontation with Garfinkle has all the sparks and energy missing from the beginning of this play. Wright and Shapiro set a blazing fire on this previous cold stage with their potentially dangerous cat-and-mouse flirtation. They continue their slow, yet commanding burn throughout the rest of the play... Carlin and Wright strike gold with their very solid and riveting mother-and-daughter scene."

"Rosalind, played by Alex Wright was the key ingredient in capturing the hearts and minds of the audience. From the start of the play it was nearly impossible for anyone not to fall in love with Alexandra Wright; her face, which is anything but ordinary, is coupled with her magnetic energy, making for an unforgettable performance. She drew in the Boston crowd with charm and wit, not often found at a typical theater play. "
"Wright’s acting of the character of Rosalind was atypical, in that she could do no wrong, with her superior ability shining right out of the gate."
"Wright’s acting range fulfills the entire spectrum … Shakespeare would have been proud."
"The character of Rosalind is not an easy heroine to play, and Wright was able to take on the challenge of this with what appeared to be little effort. Be sure to follow the career of Alex Wright, if you’re interested in entertainment and believability. Her talent and breadth of beauty and charm outshines most actresses working in TV and film."
"She was able to truly make you believe she was Shakespeare’s beloved Rosalind, to a point where you didn’t know if you too were in the Forest alongside her."
