"Hinton-Davis proves an excellent choice as director and he orchestrates the proceedings with impeccable attention to detail."

— Chronicling a Love Affair with Canadian Theatre

"Director Peter Hinton-Davis gives the production a precise, deliberate rhythm. The staging often has the quality of a carefully plotted chess game..."

— Joe Szekeres, Our Theatre Voice

"...director Peter Hinton-Davis seems to know this [that the play is like a piece of music] and has the three actors work together as a precise vocal ensemble."

— Christopher Hoile, Stage Door

"Everything about this production was exquisite... all under the guiding direction of Peter Hinton-Davis."

Lynn Slotkin

"A convex mirror hangs at the centre of Peter Hinton-Davis’s production... the effect [is] hypnotic... The staging deepens that sense of confinement... Hinton-Davis arranges them in composed tableaux—now on a diagonal, now at different heights... while Louise Guinand isolates them in narrow shafts of light."

Intermission Magazine

"Canadian director Peter Hinton-Davis, one of this country’s finest auteurs, is always one to watch — known for his bold esthetic paired with incisive textual analysis. He seems like the perfect fit to take on the Canadian premiere of “Suzannah,” a highly experimental drama by Norwegian playwright Jon Fosse about Henrik Ibsen’s wife, who had an immeasurable impact on the playwright’s life and output."
