'Danny and the Deep Blue Sea' delivers in spades

"... in an unforgettably visceral production of John Patrick Shanley's Danny and the Deep Blue Sea... Maitland acts like Ali boxed, with hypnotic beauty and brutal force." - Chris Boyd, The Australian

"The fact that Charlie and Laura were able to deliver these tremendous performances while directing themselves at the same time is remarkable, including one of the most moving endings to a play I’ve ever seen. [They] make Danny and Roberta’s relationship a lightning bolt, tracing an impossible path raw and bright from the sky to the ground." - David Collins, Australian Arts Review

"Ms Maitland is herself excellent: febrile, aggressive, dangerously crazy-brave and provocative and yet with tiny, enticing glimpses of sweetness and humour. She is, indeed, the ‘deep blue sea’ – or has it inside her, a secret realm, which she opens to him. It’s a quicksilver performance, which, counterweighted by Mr Cousins’ slow but explosive burn, holds us through this rollercoaster ride." - Michael Brindley,
