BARBARIAN: The one-person play written, directed, and performed by Rick Segall

Presented with only four theatrical elements: an actor, an audience, a space, and sound. "Barbarian" is a 90-minute, one-person play telling the story of the final night of Simon Peter's life and how that night changes the life of another man forever.

Omg you are a great Actor also .I can't believe it

I'm blown away by this stunning act... Not just saying. But this truly is good... The voice transition was gold!! And how the heck you managed to act continuously for 1.5 hrs?! You seem to be completely into this

Clearly you have not seen Meghnadbadh Kavya by Gautam Halder. Otherwise , being a bengali you wouldn't have said "how the heck you managed to act continuously for 1.5hrs" . It is on youtube. You can give it a watch if you like solo performances. It is something that cannot be beaten.

Fifth time watching it. Blows my mind every time. It should be made into a film, directed by Rick himself, starring him too, in the role of Simon Peter, he's brilliant. Astonishing play! Masterpiece! I will watch it again, and again, and again, and again, forevermore...

Found this, and I was like: "Hey, isn't that the guy from the stupid reactions?" Watched it and thought: "He's actually so brilliantly, awesomely, amazingly good! Subscribed!!! After subscribing and watching some other stuff: "He was friends with MJ??? He was a child actor??? He went to India to meet his love??? They met in social media??? Isn't he hilariously funny and talented??? Why isn't he in Broadway and Hollywood and all over the mainstream entertainment media??? Why am I so inspired by him all of a sudden??? Rick Segall, there's something about you sir, your personality, your character, your soul, it reaches out... Made a fan out of me, I'm officially a stupid baby! You, sir, most be protected at all cost!!!

Rick, you are such a great actor. Theatre indeed is the most difficult form of acting and you did it with such grace and power.

[@agagneja04]

Dear Rick I have no words to describe the emotional journey you took me with this act. Watching you transition between characters, modulating your accents, making your audience see the people, the characters, their clothes, their surroundings, their emotions and their bare hearts, all through your telling eyes and your expressions, is a testament to the great story-teller you are. My only regret is that I didn't see this sooner. You commonly mention in your OSR videos that you feel sorry that people in the USA are not aware of the talent in India. I today feel sorry that I went all my life not having seen your work. I always knew watching you in OSR videos that you know what you are talking about when you comment on art and filmmaking and theatre. But after today, I have new found respect for your knowledge and your craft. God bless you for being your awesome self. Thank you.

[@ricksegallactor]

Thank you so much ❤️ And thank you for watching it ❤️

[@himanshugahlawat09]

I think I should make a video as a review of this play because I have so much to say about it that I cannot put that into words online. To simplify for anyone who doesn't know theatre the core audacity to capture an audience, an embience, a performance, characters, a story for 1 and a half hour is mind blowing and the energy it requires is unimaginable. This performance should've gotten atleast 5 minutes of standing ovation and applause just for the performance alone. But talking technical, not just the performance but the writing was absolutely phenomenal. The music and it's co-ordination was amazing as well as the camera shots because they were so simple yet effective. The intensity of these characters and the grip on it has left me speechless. I came here to see some, acting by Rick, and I am coming out of it with absolute respect for you as an artist. I will admit this has made me crave so hard for a solo performance that I have started looking for one person plays, I know how hard it would be, but it's even harder if I don't try.🤞🏻 You can say this performance has inspired me because of the lockdown situation I was losing my will and now I am hungrier as ever to act. Thank you so much Rick❤️❤️ You're an artist and we love you so much❤️

[@ricksegallactor]

Thank you so much. I am delighted and honored by everything you said but most especially in hearing that it inspired you!!!!! That’s the best thing of all! ❤️❤️❤️😘😘 Go get em!!!

Brilliant acting. You should be a famous actor. If I ever make a film, I know who to go to. Keep doing the good work!

[@jyotsnatata4251]

I don't know what i just watched.... Damn I cried... I cried multiple times... -when Regulus told his side of story what he went through.. -When Simon Peter was gone.. -When Simon Peter removes the Bulla, and replaces it with a cross.. -When Regulus says, that when he looks down, it's UPSIDE DOWN... damn that was unbelievably extraordinary... Can't even begin to explain how the story was beautifully told.. those voice modulations.. that laughter of both the characters in between... That crying with ache in the heart n the soul... You had those characters incarnated in you... The scene when Simon Peter is telling his story n about Christ.. n he walks around Regulus.. I could picture Regulus looking at Peter as he spoke.. That's the beauty u had in ur acting that even when something does not exist physically, u made it possible to see that through imagination... Loads of respect to u Sir Rick.. Hats off... ❤❤❤

[@aruncops2008]

I am deeply blessed by you for sharing this. I am grateful. Im one of your stupid fans and chanced by this and decided to see it. Any praise from me isnt sufficent enough to justify your talent Mr. Segall. Such a soulful and powerful performance. It isn't just acting its the very 'becoming' for the moment in time. I started tearing up even before the story of Regulas and then the flood gates burst open. I've never cried so much for a performance and it's well deserved. Very capable of invoking the imagery in our minds and the emotions in our hearts. Captivating and spellbinding. Thank you again.

[@aruncops2008]

Initially I had my doubts going in.....but you delivered and surpassed all my expectations. I thought initially you chose the easiest route with the typical 20s showman voice for the elderly Peter, but no. It's way more subtle yet complex than that. Both the characters go though such highs and lows and such complexity in their voice reflecting their emotions. You shot down my presumptions Rick. I've got so many questions about this play as an eager fan, yet I lack the platform to ask them. If i ever get a chance I'd love to interview you. The voice changes and modulations were seamless not steering me away from the narrative. Perfect blend of humour in such a deep and heartwrenching subject matter. Hats off to the weeks and months of preparation and perfecting of your fantastic skill set.

This is absolutely amazing. Everything was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. I can’t even tell you the emotions I felt as the story played out. To add on, I’ve been a Christian all my life so it was so amazing to see a play where I am familiar with the Biblical history, familiar with the characters you are playing, and to say the verses as they are being said on screen!! I am so encouraged in my faith and I was reminded of Jesus’ goodness and His love. I was reminded that I am loved by the one and only true God. Praise Jesus. Once again well done and thank you for this I loved it.
