Crave - Signature Theatre
“Lescault’s delivery of a heartbreaking monologue is particularly gripping.”
Washington Theatre Review

A Midsummer Night’s Dream - Folger Theatre
“John Lescault preens as a John Barrymore-like Theseus and brings a grave (if not smoldering sex-appeal)...to the fairy ruler Oberon.”
Nelson Pressley, Washington Post

Macbeth - Folger Theatre
“John Lescault is wonderful as a gentlemanly MacDuff, gracefully ranging from distress to ferocity as Macbeth’s dreaded foe...”
Nelson Pressley, Washington Post

“...Lescault is a standout as he receives the news that his family was brutally murdered.”
Eric Johnson, Washington Times

Hannah and Martin - Theatre J
“Lescault’s performance, especially when Heidegger lectures and debates, easily conveys the arrogant pinnacles of academia. But Lescault’s turn goes beyond the pomp of the philosopher king, his ferocity sweeps Heidegger toward the realm of military certitude…”
Nelson Pressley, Washington Post

“Lescault’s smooth, intellectually aloof Heidegger…”
Bob Mondello, Washington City Paper

Death and the Maiden - Theatre J
“Lescault manages to put flesh on this character, giving a persuasive portrayal of a man seeking to do right by his spouse while trying to prevent any damage to his own reputation.”
Peter Marks, Washington Post

“Lescault plays Gerardo with tremendous compassion and sensitivity.”
Susan Davidson, Washingtonian

Hedda Gabler - Everyman Theatre
“Lescault’s slick, sophisticated Brack….”
Wynn Rousuck, Baltimore Sun

“Lescault is both jovial and menacing as Judge Brack.”
Anna Ditkoff, Baltimore City Paper

Shakespeare, Moses, and Joe Papp - Round House Theatre
“John Lescault throws himself headlong into the role of the legendarily dynamic producer (Joe Papp); nearly every sentence is a proclamation, and with his chin out and fists clenched, Lescault looks as if he’s ready to fight over every word.”
Nelson Pressley, Washington Post

“Lescault’s Papp is a masterful combination of crusader and callous opportunist.”
Leslie Milk, Washingtonian

Heartbreak House - Round House Theatre
“Lescault is on far too briefly; his portrait of a petulant, jealous suitor is irresistibly funny.”
William Triplett, Washington Post

The Sins of Sor Juana - Theatre of the First Amendment
“Lescault’s scoundrel is intelligent without being smug, vulnerable without being soppy.”
William Triplett, Washington Post
