About me
REVIEWS"Claire Garrigan.. gave her"Shylock" a heartfelt quality as the hard-nosed businesswoman...She has both the appearance and intensity of Frances Barber and was compelling throughout.."(The Merchant of Venice)-Remote Goat-Joe Crystal
" The Vengeful Jew has been turned into Sara Shylock, a high-flying city financier, all killer-heels and ice-cold of heart... a fine performance from Claire Garrigan," (The Merchant of Venice)-Reviews Gate-William Russell
"Claire Garrigan as Melanie Klein is stunning. When Mrs Klein breaks down and cries, Garrigan somehow manages to elicit both sympathy and suspicion....Such a multi-dimensional performance....A very classy production." Camden New Journal-Amy Smith.
"Klein, played brilliantly by Claire Garrigan...Garrigan was utterly convincing as Mrs Klein, with her extravagant gestures, authentic accent and fierce commitment to her beliefs. The absolute concentration on her clinical role with her patient at the end was mesmerizing." Tower-Val Whitehouse.
"The play is slick and professional..Garrigan is superb as the lynchpin of the play. She is gripping in her depiction of Ranevskaya; desperate for a way to maintain her house and orchard (totems of nostalgic happiness) she plucks the empathy of the audience like cherries. We really believe in her inner conviction, her pathos and her façade...A profound and affecting evening in the theatre." Remotegoat- Peter Carrington.
"Claire Garrigan as Titania had an ethereal quality and her speech describing how she came to adopt the Indian boy was mesmerizing. She made you see the beach and hear the waves" Network- Eileen Heaney.
"One of the best performance I've seen. in Suddenly Last Summer. Everybody should be praised but Claire Garrigan's performance was outstanding.. Fantastic and quality work." Q-Carol-Ann Smith.
"Hedda Gabler was by far the best play I have seen to date..This may be due to the superb performance of Clare Garrigan as Hedda" Q-Kate Harper
"I have seen this play many, many times but this ranks as one of the most fully realized productions I've attended...I must make a special mention of Claire Garrigan's performance as Hedda: she presented a thoroughly credible and understandable woman, with whose actions we could empathize, if not sympathize. I particularly liked the way her face reflected her rapidly changing emotions- here was an actress who knew how to "live in the moment" Q-Richard Ely
"The small cast generated an electric atmosphere that charged the play with tense black comedy from the first entrance of Hedda, an intense role performed with sharp and brittle genius by Claire Garrigan...Despite her chilling attempts to make light of her situation, the tension gradually rose until it felt as if the atmosphere could only be cleared by a bolt of lightning"- Tour Review Devon-Nick Groom
"Garrigan as Dolores .. A nice glance here, a spot on laugh there- and Garrigan in particular has got under the skin of her scarred character in terms of physical movement." The Stage-Tony Cooke.
