“Watching [Brick Shithouse] is a visceral (not to say blood-splattering) experience. You can feel the bruises getting kicked and the noses getting busted, at the same time you’re getting to know desperate characters on an individual basis. [...] This is a cast of seven selflessly physical actors who literally throw themselves into the play. Sam Jeffery’s fight direction (which is almost by definition intimacy direction) is remarkably bone-rattling.”
Liz Nicholls for 12th Night, on Brick Shithouse [Fenceless Theatre]
“Excellent work is put in by Samantha Jeffery … succeeds with giving real heart”
Colin MacLean for Gig City, on After Miss Julie [Lodestar Theatre]
“It’s a disorienting, visceral and immersive stream of consciousness experience, made even more powerful by this quartet of performers. They’ve mastered the script…”
Mel Priestley, on Crave [Stonemarrow Theatre]
“Stand-outs are Sam Jeffery as Macduff... The fighting, though… it’s visceral and wild”
Liz Nicholls for 12th Night, on Macbeth [The Malachites]
