“Aenne Barr and Dermot Magennis both deliver superb performances, full of intensity and versatility… wonderful theatrical thrill.”
HEATHER by T. Eccleshare
Chris McCormack, Musings in Intermissions
“Aenne Barr's Elizabeth is the real gem here. When she steps down to enter the play we find her subtle, showing little moments of victory and defeat, towering when triumphant and shaken to her core when struck. It's a performance befitting a queen because it shows that queens, behind crowns and scepters, are proudly human.”

Colette Fitzpatrick, Wide-Eyed and Blind
Barr is perfection as Coppola, a grand dame who seems to have it all together but slowly unravels

Fiona Charleston, Sunday Times
“Dramatic equivalent of the Rubik’s Cube… played with a hesitant fragility by Aenne Barr… this intellectually ticklish play entertainingly explores our readiness to believe whatever story suits us.”

Declan Burke, Sunday Times Culture
Kealy provides an unsettling raw energy…, Barr a delicately judged counterpoint poignancy, while Gunn displays superb comic timing.

“Magennis and Barr metamorphose easily through the very different manifestations of their characters… a provocative hour of lunchtime theatre.”

Aenne Barr as Elizabeth conveys the combination of command and vulnerability required, and her domineering but lonely bearing greets the audience on arrival”
David Keane, The Reviews Hub
Barr’s Professor Coppola perfectly embodies the mad scientist trope without being crass.
