Critical Comment
The script reveals Druicks verbal artistry: the evocation of the various characters and episodes is vivid; each interpolated character has its own rhythm; and the two-act piece is carefully constructed as a coherent whole through variations in pace and tone that are inscribed in the text.
U of T Quarterly, Winter 2006
Druicks play.... is a series of miniature scenes crackling with emotion and politics, created with tiny, subtle brush strokes.... Music and a sense of rhythm infuse his work.
Jon Kaplan, Now
.... one of Canadas finest playwrights....
Robert Crew, Toronto Star
You can.... almost smell the danger of the place.
Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail
From its very first moments, Druick conjures up the poisonous atmosphere of a world ruled by fear and rumour where truth is merely the whim of an absolute monarch.
Christopher Hoile, Eye
Druicks script is vivid and delicate, a sensitive and sensuous piece of writing alive with colour and texture, its images polished like marble until they gleam.
Jill Lawless, Now
The magic of Through The Eyes is that it captures the obscene opulence and the intricate, repressed relationships of the Court of Louis XIV... using only one actor and a bare stage.
