Andrew Gillies, Tom McCamus (8/82 Too True to Be Good)
Excerpt from Syracuse Herald Journal 8/18/82: Andrew Gillies and Tom McCamus
'Too Good to Be True' represents Shaw comedy at its best the cast outdoes film in Court House Theater comedy at Niagara-on-the-Lake
by Joan E. Vadeboncoeur
Ontario. A young woman who is much stronger and more wily than she appears. An army sergeant who prefers the life of an enlisted where he can maneuver and than manipulate more freely. An officer who finds it more pleasant to paint and leave the grubby chores to a competent aide. A doctor who admits to himself if not to the world at large that he simply prescribes whatever is wanted, and leaves the healing to nature. Typical George Bernard Shaw comedy ingredients and they are being proffered in a fine production of Too Good to Be True, which is one of the tenants in the Shaw Festival's Court House Theater.
....
That is not the fault of Andrew Gillies, whose disaffected figure has been highly magnetic in Act II and whose affable presence was most engaging in Act I. Gillies' exhortations do justice to the Shavian tenets regarding atheist and other precepts.
....
Tom McCamus moves stealthily, yet displays a puckish sense of humor, as the microbe.
