| 2020 | Kate Benfield has a larger than life stage persona and is amusing as the Doctor Susan Elkin | thestage.co.uk |
| 2012 | The excellent Kate Benfield.... the performance of Ms Benfield is powerful and at times literally screams at you Tim Stone | thepublicreviews.com |
| 2012 | Jack Rhys Davis and Kate Benfield deliver passionate and unnervingly truthful performances as unpleasant, intimidating Roy and his downtrodden wife. Trine Garrett | fringereport.com |
