Dracula Directed by Robert Pike
We Happy Few 2018
|
"Director Robert Pike conceives a fast-paced tale, and his talented performers deliver with pizzazz and flourishes....They thus achieve a high-touch, sophisticated event, a condensed Dracula with wit and dramatic tension, which is literary, intellectual, challenging and innovative, and sometimes, extremely funny." (DC Metro Theatre Arts)
This is fierce. This is thrilling. This is a racing pulsating heartbeat of vampires the likes of which have yet to be experienced on stage. This is the <silver> bullet of Bram Stoker’s spooky unholy, undead living legend... engaging the audience with a heightened sense of excitement, primarily charged by the performers’ high-octane energies.

Frankenstein Directed by Robert Pike & Bridget Grace Sheaff
We Happy Few 2018
|
It's beautiful magic, magnificent to behold. (DC Metro Theatre Arts)
Best of all, it’s an eloquent script, well directed by Robert Pike and Bridget Grace Sheaff and with a minimum of fluff. WHF’s show is how Frankenstein is best first encountered: a dark room, eerie lighting and Mary Shelley’s words... You’ll need little else for a true horror story. (DC Theatre Scene) ... this compelling experience zaps theatergoers full of the true Frankenstein experience, brilliantly adapting the tale to the stage in a readily digestible and intriguing 60-minute theatrical morsel... With multitudinous veins of energy, this cast of four is miraculous to watch in action. They are innovative in their storytelling and gifted in the magnitude with which they explore such a tale in such brief period of time. (TheatreBloom) |

Stephen in Burst by Amy Leigh Horan
Parlor Room Theater 2018
|
"Stephen, with his emotions churning from sullen and morose to brash and exuberant, is Horan’s most complex character. He’s absorbed in his iPad, hands in pockets in his hoodie, by turns sulky and antic, and in Robert Pike’s impressive performance also the production’s most arresting." (DC Metro Theater Arts)
"Particularly impressive here is Pike, who shows how sweet, sincere Stephen works through his inner suffering, sometimes lashing out and other times relying on humor and distraction to cope.” (DC Theatre Scene) "Pike’s Stephen… hits the ground running, ably holding the center as a youngster who seems resilient and vulnerable in equal measure." (Metro Weekly) |

Tullus Aufidius in Coriolanus by William Shakespeare
Brave Spirits Theatre 2018
|
"Robert Pike gives a wonderfully psychopathic edge to Aufidius, challenging the audience to take their eyes off him." (DC Theatre Scene)
"The Romans are one step better than bestial; the Volscians are exactly beastlike. They are led by Rob Pike’s terrifying Tullus Aufidius, muscly and stooped, hissing his rage with pent-up energy.” (Theatrebloom) "Pike has a raw, unapologetic masculine power that saturates the space he inhabits. He beats his chest, snarls animalistically, shakes when he delivers his lines with a barely-constrained fury. When he delivers the closing line of the play— which was plucked perfectly from the text— I wasn’t sure whether I found his character repulsive or whether I deeply identified with his explosion of rage which had gone so long repressed. Performances which hold a mirror up to ourselves in such a palpable way are a rare treasure. I wasn’t the only one who felt they left having been given the gift of seeing Robert Pike bring this character to life." (DC Metro Theatre Arts) Coriolanus is stocked with animal imagery, and this is exemplified in the players' behaviors… Aufidius (Robert Pike) is a cobra, coiled and hissing with danger. This is particularly disconcerting when, for the second half of the play, he is seated next to me instead of Virgilia, and I can sense the seething volatility coursing though his sinews and ready to explode at any second.

Don John/Dogberry in Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare
Nextstop Theatre 2017
|
"Robert Pike has dual personalities in the two characters he plays. As the treacherous Don John, he is an ashen grey mean-spirited presence. His unsmiling unsettling presence can sting others without saying a word. Then in another scene, he becomes an inflated Constable Dogberry chock-full of gloriously delivered malapropisms as he scampers across the stage, or does silly salutes as he cap flies off his head. As Dogberry, Pike seems to takes his acting cue from Shakespeare’s own word for Dogberry: he is “an ass.”(DC Metro Theatre Arts)

Adam in a Bid to Save the world by Erin Bergman
Rorschach Theatre 2016
|
"Not only is Robert Pike charming and touching as Adam, but he deserves what might be the best compliment I can give to an actor: onstage, he carries himself like a human being, which is a far rarer quality than you’d think." (DC Theatre Scene)
"Other strong performances of note are Robert Pike as Adam, especially in a scene near the end of the show in which he gives an extended monologue on the importance of grieving." (DC Metro Theatre Arts) |
