Reviews
The entirety of the cast worked so well as a cohesive collective, it is difficult to describe their performances individually. Each were committed to their character, which had clearly been researched and developed into well-rounded and thought out personalities, and interacted with one another with the familiarity one would expect from members of a sports team. Each brought a powerful intensity, light and shade and above all, energy, to their performance. Each actor was faultless in their execution of dialogue and blocking contributing to the overall professionalism of the show.

“Maddie Armit as Hollis was subdued in the best way. Armit […] delivered one of the best moments of the production in the second act. The audience was invited into the life of Maddie Armit and they were not disappointed. ”

“There’s more pathos added by Maddie Armit as Hollis, the player who has lost her brother, Henry, to the Black Death. But Maddie is a great comic too”

“Maddie Armit pushed boundaries, both with a fiery intensity and complete disregard for maintaining the digestible, pretty image women are often expected to uphold.”
