Haunting and haunted... wildly mercurial, he is crazy like a fox. Bowdren kept us glued to his actions and words, anxious to see where he would go — and he would always go someplace interesting.
Matt Bowdren brought all of Iago's awful qualities to devastating life. He made him charming, destructive, jealous, cruel. He was hard to turn away from.
Bowdren rightfully pushes his performance beyond the superficial, conveying his character's immaturity and naivety with a wry, understated sense of humor, letting the audience in on the joke without ever falling into caricature.
