reviews
TWELTH NIGHT: A GENDER EXPERIMENT
LITRO: "...director Natasha Rickman brings inventive solutions to limitations of time and cast size: parts are doubled (or even tripled), a change of hat or accent marks a change of role, and characters are assumed or shrugged off mid-scene. On the night I attend, the all-female cast perform an energetic, entertaining, and occasionally farcical version of Twelfth Night, bringing playfulness to the play’s world of disguises and mistaken identities, and making the most of the staging possibilities offered by the atmospheric venue."
MTM: "Natasha Rickman stages Twelfth Night: A Gender Experiment four ways: all-female, all-male, same gendered and cross-gendered. Rather than seeing all four, I went for the most rare of the options out of curiosity, which was satisfied by excellent performances and a 90-minute edit with plenty of fun and energy. "
DANCING SHOES
SPY IN THE STALLS: "To create a true sense of drama in such a short piece is a real skill, and Olivia Mace’s Dancing Shoes was a terrific piece of writing in this regard. Dealing with hefty subject matter – dementia, family skeletons, racial politics – with a truth and a lightness of touch, and imaginatively directed by Natasha Rickman"
