“
My students and I enjoyed the evening. It’s not often
that our kids get to attend live theatre. Thank you for sharing
this production with us.”
MT LAWLEY SHS
“
The small group of students I accompanied to this performance
were thoroughly entertained! I am eager for my students to
be exposed to the Bard’s works because it opens their
eyes to just how entertaining his plays can be! Thanks.”
Simon Pro, Theatre Australia
“
This year Class Act took a brave step to set the play in the
psychedelic 70’s. Stephen Lee, a master director, who
clearly understands all the intricacies and specifics of Shakespeare’s
words with his very talented Perth cast, took the audience
on a journey. The whole cast brought something very special
to their parts and brought those characters to life in the
crazy and wild world of the 1970’s. Congratulations guys,
you have got a hot show on your hands and I hope Perth recognizes
it.”
Geoff Gibbs, The West Australian
“ Alison van Reeken nails the complexities of Viola
and plays the role with sustained energy, honesty and engaging
empathy.”
“ Graham Mitchell almost steals the show with his dour Malvolio.”
Sarah McNeill, Post Impressions
“
The foolish tangle of love and practical jokes unfolds under
the critical eye of Vivienne Glance as Feste. “Wise enough
to play the fool”, she invests the character with a stylish
wit while staying true to the lyrical language.”
“
The most notable performances are Graham Mitchell’s Inspector
Blake-inspired Malvolio, who looks ridiculous in tight yellow
flares; Alinta Carroll’s glamour queen Olivia and Alison
van Reeken’s vulnerable and sweet Viola/Cesario.”
