Reviews
‘Jazz Lane is amazing in the role of Sonja/Sarah, I couldn't get enough of her performance. As Sonja, she embodies strength and unapologetic confidence, directly addressing her own dissatisfaction in her marriage. The connection between her and Lauren Dillon, who portrays Jane, is palpable during a particularly charged scene where Sonja reveals that she is the wife of the man Jane has recently had an affair with. It's a moment of unexpected camaraderie that could easily have been played with hostility, but Lane and Dillon bring a nuanced tenderness that speaks to the complexity of forgiveness and understanding. Meanwhile, Jazz Lane transforms into Sarah, using her voice and mannerisms to captivate, control, and seduce the audience. The transformation of characters is obvious, thanks to both the actors’ versatility and the costume changes that delineate each role.’

‘Jazz Lane was particularly compelling as Sarah, the play’s troubled Act Two antagonist, commanding the stage with her stillness, characterisation and complex inner life.’
