Some reactions to SPEAK OF ME AS I AM

23 October 2011

"... the spoken word event in the Studio, is a mesmerising performance which communicates the equal joy and disappointment that both he (Wyllie Longmore) and Ira Aldridge felt at being marginalised black actors rather than actors. ... The symbiosis between both actors' experiences in wanting to be actor extraordinaire is compelling, moving and thoughtful." *****  (Lucia Cox, whatsonstage.com)

"I enjoyed last night's reading enormously.  It was extremely powerful and moving and delivered with great sophistication and skill. ... The rage, the rawness and the dignity scooped up the audience and took us with you."  (Penny Blackie, audience member)

"Really enjoyed the show and your performance last night.  What a great story to be told."  (Fiona Gaspar, audience member)
