Death of A Salesman
Hapgood Theatre
(w/Elias Escobedo, Jack Stauffer
& Adrienne Krug
)
“an achingly raw and brutally edgy production. . . Purdon is excellent, revealing the character’s own shortcomings in a nuanced performance.”
– Pat Craig, Contra Costa Times, October 10, 2008
“Purdon does a terrific job… it’s disheartening to watch as he tries to convey his anguish.”
– Judith Prieve - Oakland Tribune, October, 2008 |

Henry
The Real Thing
Bus Barn Stage
“The acting was superb. Matthew Purdon negotiates the intricate, machine-gun fire dialogue of the main character quite nicely.”
– Bruce Barton - Los Altos Town Crier, February 6, 2008
“Bus Barn Stage Company's current production of "The Real Thing," … manages to capture the show's essence, both intellectually and emotionally. This is due in large part to the work of actor Matthew Purdon. . . Purdon captures the character's thoughtless complacency, as well as its gradual unraveling. . . his skillful navigation that makes the text both comprehensible and meaningful to the audience.”

Iago
Othello
College of Marin
(guest artist)
“Purdon does a good job of making Iago seem sincere and well-meaning while hiding devious intentions. The scenes between him and Othello are the most compelling… they are so present, that other performances shrink in comparison”
– Olga Azar, Marinscope, April 2007 |
