What the critics have said...
'For its success a deft script might have been enough but the words were enhanced by splendid acting, not least from Steve Hay (as Tommy) and Hannah Morrell (Brenda).' (Oxford Daily Info, Quiz Night at the Brittania, June 2011)
|
'Hannah Morrell, who confidently took on several parts, deserves special mention. Morrell
demonstrated impressive dexterity as she convincingly portrayed a shy, stuttering bookseller, a
homeless person and an American tourist.' (Oxford Daily Info, An Academic's Progress, Nov 2010)
|
'Hannah Morrell as Celia the bewildered wife brought great pathos to this fundamentally tragic
story. It's a complex piece, which the accomplished company brought to eerie life.' (Oxford Times,
Never Tell Them, Mar 2010)
|
'The play calls for sustained, deeply-felt performances. Hannah Morrell, Simon Holden-White, Steve
Hay and Michael Fraser do that effortlessly.' (Oxford Daily Info, Never Tell Them, Mar 2010)
|
'Hannah Morrell is so effective a mirror of his frustrations that his agonies are writ large through her,
and the two of them are conjoined enough to build to a genuinely moving climax'. (Oxford Daily Info,
Never Tell Them, Mar 2010)
|
'The mother, Viv, is a stereotype of a single parent, slumped about popping pills and a serial smoker.
In spite of this, Hannah Almond is a powerful presence. (The Steel Press, Like A Virgin,
Mar 2004)
|
'In the opening scene . . . the excellent rapport between the two actors [Hannah Almond and Adam Jackson-Smith] creates a witty exchange of words.' (BBC South Yorkshire,
Arcadia, Nov 2003)
|
'The Comb simmers with the kind of promise that marks out future stars' (Metro, Ed. Fringe, The
Comb, Aug 2003)
