To Kill For
True Theatre Critic
Ukulady's Ponyshow!

The year is 1982. Alfred Hitchcock is in the afterlife, limbo and he's depressed because he misses his wife, Alma Reville, who died six months ago and has not yet come to find him. Instead, a film buff comes to assist him in remaking "Vertigo". She posits that he is not ready to see Alma yet. Later, another visitor, Tippi Hedren, the actress who formed the turning point in Hitch's life, speculates that he wouldn't recognize Alma if he saw her. By the time Alma appears, in this funny, shrewd dramatic fantasy, she and Hitch are able to create a fresh approach to one another.

Robert Sicular, a Bay Area native, first appeared on stage at the tender age of three, when he portrayed an Eskimo child in a community theater production. Encouraged by loving parents, Robert continued his forays into the world of performance all through his school years, but it was when he attended Berkeley High School, that his passion truly blossomed. His performing in such diverse plays as “The Hostage”, “The Madwoman of Chaillot”, “Marat/Sade”, and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” set the stage for a career that has spanned decades and distance. At the University of California at Berkeley, he studied under the great William Oliver and performed in a great variety of roles. Then he went to study for a year at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, and upon returning to the States, commenced his professional career in earnest. He has appeared at the Berkeley, San Jose, Saint Louis, South Coast, and Seattle Repertory Theatres, ACT in San Francisco, The Denver Center Theatre Company, Actors Theatre of Louisville, Marin Theatre Company, and the California, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, Santa Fe, and Oregon Shakespeare Festivals (where he was a company member for eight years), and the Shakespeare Theatre in Washington, DC. All told, he has performed in over eighty productions of Shakespeare portraying such roles as Hamlet, Richard II, Petruchio, Brutus, Marc Antony, Sir Toby Belch, Malvolio, Orlando, Jaques, Touchstone, Leontes, Nick Bottom, Henry IV, Iachimo, Hubert de Burgh, and many, many more. In addition to his love of performing the classics, Robert has always carried a great enthusiasm for new works and has participated in numerous world premiers. His on-screen credits include recurring roles on “General Hospital” and “The Young and the Restless”, a featured part in the Bollywood potboiler “Dil Pardesi Ho Gaya (My Heart Has Become a Foreigner)”, and a starring role in the Sci-Fi Action Comedy Thriller, “Never Die Twice”.
