| | Review Highlights: Acting | | | Kate Twa’s Lucy is initially straight-laced, even puritanical, but as Act 2 unravels, so does Lucy. Twa carries off the mad scene that makes Ophelia’s demise a mere blip on the sanity/insanity continuum.
--Jo Ledingham, The Vancouver Courier | | | Kate Twa makes sense of Lucy’s compulsive cruelty and overt sexual hunger, uniting them with spoiled coquetry.
--Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight | | | Twa sparkles in her withering assault on Rueben for sucking the life out of people.
--Kevin Prokosh, Winnipeg Free Press | | | He is joined by Brenda (Kate Twa), a wretchedly jonesing crackhead hooker, complete with track marks and open sores. A grisly trade of commodities ensues as we sit voyeuristically experiencing a slice of street life…talented actors who humorously and respectfully play characters that could easily be exaggerated.
--Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight | | | Kate Twa’s Estelle is all sexual heat and emotional ice…
--Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight | | | …Twa as the evil coquettish Estelle is assured, seductive and wily…
--Jo Ledingham, The Vancouver Courier | | | She [Twa] is a construction of almost pure vanity with her moves, her ooze and her predatory graces.
--Brian Peterson, The Kitsilano News | | | …mysterious femme fatale, in this case the inscrutable cross dressing Viola of Twelfth Night [Kate Twa].
--Stephen Humphrey, Edmonton Journal | | | [Kate Twa] is splendid as the stuffy Westchester wife whose private world is invaded…
--Dave Billington, The Edmonton Journal | | | …but a word of wisdom to all you directors out there: Be sure to catch this play for the performance of actress [Kate] Twa as the bitchy, sardonic wife of the party’s host. She moves with the confidence of someone who has spent a lifetime on stage, she is beautiful and she has a wicked style of delivering a cutting line
--Dave Billington, Edmonton Journal | | | …Twa as his fed up wife generates an edgy excitement…
--NeWest Review | | | …astonishingly chameleonic performances by the three principals.
--James Adams, Edmonton Journal |
