REVIEWS
What critics are saying
There is no one you would trust more with this task than Crotty, who as well as being the finest Irish actor of her generation is also the bravest. She seems always to walk a millimetre above the ground on an invisible high wire, giving her a taut alertness that commands absolute attention.
Fintan O'Toole, The Irish Times
It’s no surprise that Crotty’s process is so immersive. Renowned for the power and emotion she brings to her characters, she has twice won best actress at the Irish Theatre Awards - in 2008 for Masha in The Three Sisters and in 2015 for Henry IV in DruidShakespeare, a gender-blind reworking of four of Shakespeare’s history plays.
Joanne Hayden, Irish Independent
Once in a while an actor comes along who, from the start, has that indefinable something extra in the revered cliche he or she displaces air on stage. Derbhle Crotty is such a performer, noted from her first appearances at the Abbey as a talent with a difference, an edge of danger.
Gerry Colgan, The Irish Times
Derbhle Crotty is wonderful as Portia, living her pain and bitterness, growing to a despair beyond redemption, in a towering performance. In tip of the iceberg writing, the author has created portraits in depth of her fellow voyagers through the darkness of her days.
Peter Crawley, The Irish Times
