Andrew
Pollard Arsenic and Old Lace Theatre by the Lake Keswick 2008 |
|
| "The
arrival in Act II of psychotic Boris Karloff lookalike Jonathan Brewster (Andrew Pollard) ... is a great improvement ..." The Stage |
||
| "But
the highlight is the wonderful casting choice of Andrew Pollard as Jonathan. Brooding and mysterious, his gentle and disturbing voice, graceful movements and imposing presence made for a dark and sinister character who owns every scene in which he appears." The Newcastle Journal |
||
| The
Lonesome West Theatre by the Lake Keswick 2008 |
||
| "Watching
in abject horror at the two unredeemable brothers ... is Father Welsh (beautifully played by Andrew Pollard)." News & Star |

Greenwich
Theatre 2007-08, 2006-07 "Andrew Pollard plays Dick's mother Willamena Whittington with the smooth confidence of the experienced Dame he is." [ The British Theatre Guide ] |
|
| "Dick's
mum, Mrs Willamena Whittington, is a superb Dame - and great with the kids." [ Greenwich News ] |
||
| "Andrew
Pollard is the writer/Dame and a long-standing collaborator with The Natural Theatre Company. His writing and performance had exactly the right mix of slapstick silliness and knowing ribaldry (for the grown ups) to keep me cackling in the aisles and my daughter still talking about the show today." [ The Guardian ] |
||
| "Pollard
himself plays the game Dame, a figure of fun, of course, but endearingly so." [ The Times ] |
||
| "The
shows success goes to Andrew Pollard as Nanny Fanny ... the star of the show she definitely was. Her presence is very, very hard to miss." [ This Is London online ] |

Benedict
Power Marge Square Chapel 2004 |
|
| "Ben
Power is faultless as Leroy, a sad lost soul who is eventually bewildered and overcome by the increasingly bizarre self-created situation in which he finds himself." [ Halifax Evening Courier ] |
||
| Two Square Chapel 2003 |
||
| ...
the on-stage chemistry between (the two actors) made this production powerful, intense and moving ... (but) it was Ben Power's performance of the pub landlord that really stole the show.... " [ Halifax Evening Courier ] |
||
| The
Ghost Lesson Lawrence Batley Theatre 2003 |
||
| "Power
.... (gives an) energetic performance switching from childish petulance to adult gravitas in the blink of an eye." [ Huddersfield Daily Examiner ] |
||
| "...
a lively and intelligent performance from Benedict Power ..." [ The Stage ] |
