These two actors show how Bohr and Heisenberg were

performances illustrate the creativity of such a

THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA --
Tennessee Williams
Godart, from whom much is expected and
much is delivered, assumes control of the stage
from the moment of his entry. Through his mastery
and pure magnetism he draws the ensemble up
to a high level of consistent and harmonious
performance....it's a tribute to Godart's
professionalism that he won't permit us to
merely enjoy him. Rather he directs our attention
away from personality to the business of the
evening--confronting Williams' ideas.

Charles Isherwood. New York Times. Keith Carradine brings confidence and efficiency to the
role of Dr. Farquhar, and he knows where to put a pregnant

at near manic speed; these roles are difficult for the physical
demands and emotional shifts.

Godart is also a man of many faces, all of them
set in expressions of wary distrust, as Mark Styler, the
best-selling crime author hoping to get an interview with
a serial cannibal killer who has been locked up in Fairfields for
the last 30 years.

"Godart carries out his ruthless interrogation of Serge with precision"

"Godart's Marc is nicely arrogant and dismissive."
Telegramme&Gazette
Going toe-to-toe with Carradine, Godart is quite good in the less flashy role of the perplexed and terrified Mark Styler.....and the barbed exchanges that Farquhar and Styler exchange throughout the show, give Carradine and Godart the chance to spit out the kind of witty dialogue so rarely seen on the New York stage these days and which both do with relish.
