Review of MA Acting Showcase in 'The Stage', by Paul Vale -
'...but it is Francesca McCrohon as the strangely forceful Molly who really guides the scene through. McCrohon is a strong presence on stage that should stand her in good stead for rewarding character roles in the future...'
Reviews of 'Gilded Butterflies', 2018 -
‘McCrohon holds the weight of the play on her shoulders, moulding the long monologues into what feels like a natural stream of consciousness… she looks entirely comfortable in Maggie's shoes...’ - Broadway World
‘…and it’s Francesca McCrohon who steals the show throughout... Both the script and McCrohon’s performance draw us in’ – Blog of Theatre Things
‘Francesca McCrohon imbues all of this with real conviction and a directness that is almost distressing’ – Ought To Be Clowns
‘From an opening soliloquy that could easily be a stand-up comedy performance from an Edinburgh Fringe breakout, McCrohon invites us into the eccentric, mismatched world of Maggie …a superb performance from Francesca McCrohon’ – View From The Cheap Seats
Review of 'Blithe Spirit', 2021 -
'Francesca McCrohon is an absolute joy, bringing a vitality and exuberance to the role. From the moment she arrives on her cycle, dressed in a bohemian red velvet coat and black dress, she commands attention.' – British Theatre Guide
Review of 'Abigail's Party', 2021 -
'Francesca McCrohon is superb as sexually-charged snob Beverly... More Jesse Wallace than Alison Steadman and all the better for it, her Lady Macbeth scheming under the heavy palette of bright blue eye shadow is a joy to watch. Any chance her character has to patronise and assert her superiority over her guests is taken with gusto, verve and relish, planned within an inch of its life: tit-bit gossip rolled off the tongue dripping with condescension of high-handed opinion...' - Scene One Plus
