HENRIK IBSEN'S
THE FEAST AT SOLHAUG
Other productions directed by Mark Ewbank
Lady Inger
(N.B: Jump Cut Productions)
"Absolutely enthralling. I can say that the young performers successfully introduced depth and authenticity to this tale of deceit and treachery - this is truly a great retelling of a forgotten Ibsen classic. - the lead (Georgina Pickul) was fantastic and the last scene of hers was truly moving and memorable.. also, great intimate venue."
TimeOut
"Che Watson is a calculating alpha male Lykke, smoothly charming as his eyes darting observantly, while Georgina Pickul’s Inger moves from confusion to thrilling command."
ReviewsGate
"A strong and committed cast. Georgina Pickul makes a superb Lady Inger, the woman who was the most powerful in Norway at that time. Her inner conflict and outward bearing are superbly done, and the closing scene of grief one which won’t leave me in a hurry. Director Mark Ewbank has created a stripped-down but impressive production of this tale of deceit and treachery that is well worth seeing."

Emilia Galotti
(Ottisdotter Productions)
"Ottisdotter Productions have done a mighty service in bringing this rarely performed piece to the Barons Court Theatre. Director Mark Ewbank has quite rightly stuck tightly to the original script, including the setting and period costumes. The simple set design and overall effect of the play is very pleasing; every minute of the two and a half journey was thoroughly engrossing."
EverythingTheatre
"This play is at its most interesting when it focusses on the plight of its female characters who are striving to assert some measure of independence in a male dominated world. In this sense, it was very much ahead of its time. Ewbank’s production does well in bringing these themes to the fore and it builds to a strong, dramatic climax."
ThePublicReviews
"Dr Mark Ewbank’s production was deftly performed by a young cast, with some outstanding performances from Che Watson as the Prince, Francesca Burgoyne as his exploited and provoked wife and Roseanne Lynch as the title character beautifully portrayed the simple young girl who the Prince has taken a liking to. As the story unravels from farce to tragedy, Emilia’s tale begins to match that of Isabella in Measure of Measure, faced against the frivolous power of the Prince and his plotting servants, her future quickly dissipates."

"This production is well worth a look for those interested in classics - and good parts for women."
