Additional Skills
'The Caravan' at Royal Court reviews:Evening Standard - There is particularly fine work from Rachel Dale, playing a whole range of stoically Blitz-spirited women who managed to carry on regardless.
Whatsonstage - Full credit to the five-strong cast, Rachel Dale especially, who are so versatile and convincing.
The Times - exquisitely performed.
The Guardian, Lyn Gardner -
..the acting is so good...These are the stories of very ordinary people trying to keep body and soul together in difficult circumstances.
London Paper - The cast, who play victims from Oxford to Humberside, really deliver.
Rachel Dale is excellent in three very different roles. This is a passionately portrayed, ingenious and thought-provoking theatrical experience. Naturalistic performances of the five-strong cast who never caricature or patronise - North London newspapers
'The Caravan' Edinburgh reviews:
****Whatsonstage Scotland - 'This production was flawless and fascinating...particularly impressive was Rachel Dale'
*****Metro - '...performances are uniformly excellent'
****The Scotsman (Joyce Macmillan) - 'the four actors are superb'
****The Fest - 'superb cast of four... the actors' performances are breathtakingly impressive...give a masterclass in naturalism'
Northampton Chronicle and Echo - '...undoubtedly one of the most remarkable pieces of drama I have ever seen...as the actors vividly bring to life the cross section of people affected ..'
Standout performances came from Sophie Walton and Rachel Dale who both portrayed young girls in Cassandra's memory and then women who escape the reality of their insanity by behaving like young children. Walton and Dale balance this with precision. The innocence and joyous nature their characters tout still has an underlying feeling of despondency, ensuring we do not forget the reason they are in the asylum in the first place, but still have the opportunity to be carried away by the story." - Fringe Review on 'Can You See Me Yet'
"The strongest of storylines revolves around Eastern European teacher Lena who has been forced into prostitution after being trafficked to the UK in search of a better life. Special mention must go to Rachel Dale as the unfortunate Lena, whose pit of despair is almost tangible."
Hull Daily Mail on Disposable People
Rachel Dale as Biddy, Pip's first romantic interest is particularly good, and brings a yearning and stoicism to the role that particularly holds your attention...attractive, intelligent, charming, witty.
UK Theatre Network on Great Expectations
Rachel Dale truly became Charlotte portraying her spirit and determination, and her humour which survived despite a lifelong struggle. The audience were captivated by this amazing woman and her story, and the performance received rapturous applause.
