Lucien Morgan playing Teresias gives the show a much needed lift with his West End charisma and a voice reminiscent of Laurence Olivier effortlessly commanding the stage...... Review of Antigonie in Time Out by Jazura Harrison 2017


Some of the actors get very accuratley into their roles , Lucien Morgan is so beautiful and tragic as Karenin that I wanted to cry ,.....Review of "Anna Karenina "in Anglia Newspaper by Julia Marfin 2016

Lucien Morgan comes off well as Karenin, the rich husband of Anna.This is probably the best part in the play and Victor showed some wisdom in allowing it to be played by an actor with some kind of background.
Review of "Anna Karenina" in Remote Goat , by Ailine Waites 2016

"Lucien is a fully involved professional actor and an absolute pleasure to work with. He is able to bring character to life and suggest some interesting perspectives that add richness to the film. Moreover, he is a very reliable person what I believe is a vital aspect of the film production."

Ekaterina Demina (Director)

"I'm a young director and I've worked with Lucien last year. He acted the part of an American news anchor. He was pro-active and very keen on his craft. He showed up prepared and motivated, his American accent was believable and good.
Furthermore, for Lucien, collaboration is a key part of the process and he very much seeks creative relationships based on trust and truth. He is a team player and very much listens to direction.
I recommend him."

"Lucien was great to work with, he was very professional, punctual to the set and was flexible in the scenes we shot with him."

Reviews:

"Lucien Morgan injected a touch of lightness to a potentially angst ridden play by his humorous strong and naturalistic portrayal of Colonel Triletski. He brought delight, dressing as if he was the Duke of Milan, with all the suave charm of an Italian aristocrat. In cashmere and white trousers, he strangely made the elegant KGB Colonel totally believable."

Review of Platonov

Time Out


Lucien Morgan as Count Shoening, Lulu’s penultimate husband is comically redeeming

Review of London Spring
Everything Theatre

...... while Lucien Morgan gave a masterly performance as a comically sinister Professor Serebryakov. He was a delight and brought a refreshing lift to the show.”

Jennifer Hare
Time Out

"Lucien Morgan (referred to as 'The English Marlon Brando') played Alexander Serebryakov, a retired Professor in Chekhov's 'Uncle Vanya' at the Lord Stanley Theatre.... His stage presence never disappoints"

Valerie Austin
Hot Gossip

"I particularly enjoyed the scenes between Khurvinder Ghir and Lucien Morgan. Lucien's portrayal of the bemused Welsh Police Officer had perfect comic timing.
IMDB Ealing Comedy


".......however, the scenes between Linnea Quigley, the Russian lady mobster boss, and Lucien Morgan, the English Marlon Brando, playing the police inspector, were hauntingly enthralling. Lucien Morgan's performance was mesmerising. This film is destined to be a horror classic, but I don't know why."
IMDB Kannibal

"As the conservationist 'Wood Demon' Lucien Morgan demonstrates a mastery of elocution akin to that of Richard Griffiths."
Natanya Paris (playstosee.com)

".....Lucien Morgan who was obviously a very experienced Shakespearian actor playing Antigonus"
The Stage

"In stark contrast to the prevailing angst, the star of the play was Lucien Morgan as Count Shabelsky, who with perfect comic timing, combined with his elegance and charm, totally delighted the audience by his vibrant stage presence and gave the show a much appreciated lift"
Aurora Mitley reviewing Ivanov
Everything Theatre)

"In support, the comedy is under served but Lucien Morgan as Shabelsky, is great fun as a suavely camp, naughty uncle and John Irvine's Borkin has a roguish twinkle in his eye."
Peter McCrohon (reviewing Ivanov for Remotegoat)

"Some of the other acting is more erratic, but Lucien Morgan's amiable Gaev contributes a welcome vein of comedy, feeding vodka to his duck-handled walking stick and making it quack at his nieces as they tell him to talk less."
Phoebe Taplin (Russia Beyond the headlines)

"Lucien Morgan plays a cordial King Theseus"
Camden New Journal

"Indeed, Lucien, Harrison Ford lookalike, one of the foremost theatre actors of his generation, supplied fedora, scarf and monocle for an extraordinary performance as a harried cop chasing a serial killer - remember, this is a good seven years before Fincher's 'Zodiac', and I'll bet Jake Googlegall didn't supply HIS own costume. That's devotion."
