"SOLSTICE":
"The cast ... is the finest I have ever worked with. Maggie portrays Mrs. Montgomerie in exactly the way I imagined." www.britfilms.com/britishfilms/catalogue/browse/?id=516DC2281d71f389A1oXk4068F2A

"MOUTH TO MOUTH":
"...the pain and loss of the characters are gradually exposed in a way that at times is almost unbearable. Every word counts and this excellent cast savours every one of them."

"WHO WAS HILARY MACONOCHIE?":
"The best night I've spent in any theatre anywhere"

"CARRYING ON":
"Maggie Turner gave a masterclass in comic acting"

[Some pre-2006 credits at The Questors Theatre are for this non-professional company however The Questors is the largest community theatre in Europe and therefore has a certain standing and reputation and many of those involved are trained theatre practitioners. It has been an invaluable way of keeping Maggie's skills honed. The roles played are an important part of her performance experience. The Questors is also an established venue for other companies.]
