Romney Hamilton

Notes

South Sydney Herald review of Catherine at Avignon at Meraki Bar "In his efforts he is supported by the cold and sophisticated Lady Marguerite, whose mixture of servility to men and cynicism is chillingly conveyed by Romney Hamilton" The Fourth Wall review of Catherine at Avignon at Meraki Bar "Romney Hamilton and Rosie Meader play Marguerite and Eloise respectively, and their characters are a really poignant reflection on power dynamics and systems of oppression. Narratively, these women are pitted against each other, in a sense, as they represent the start and end of a journey that begins and ends with a removal of autonomy. Hamilton plays a woman who has lost so much of her innocence that she is jaded, cynical, and self-serving. Based on the choices made by Hamilton, you get a sense that Marguerite is a woman desperate to survive. The story of these women and their relation really captured my imagination and is something I found myself thinking about as I left the theatre. If I had any criticism of the piece, it was that I wished more time was devoted to exploring this. However, perhaps the reason I think this was because of the fine performances of Hamilton and Meader." Night Writes review of Love Song as part of Sydney Fringe Fesitival "A notable performance was Romney Hamilton’s wild and crazy and slightly psychotic Molly, which brought a shift in the play that peaked the audience’s interest." Theatre travels review of Love Song as part of Sydney Fringe Fesitval "Simultaneously dense and fast-paced, it’s the kind of play that demands attention from the audience; blink and you might miss a quick joke or witty remark. With this in mind, as well as the fact that this play is staged in a tiny, very intimate theatre, its success relies heavily on the performances. David Hodgkins and Romney Hamiltion prove that opposites attract in their touching, authentic portrayals of Beane and Molly, respectively. Under Glen Hamilton’s skillful direction, all of the characters are deeply human." Suzy Goes See review of Control at the New Theatre "Performers Romney Hamilton and Caitlin Williams are unequivocal stand outs, playing organic teacher and synthetic student respectively, on the planet New Earth. Hamilton’s ability to access emotional depths in very little time, and with minimal external influence, is an impressive sight." Night Writes review of Macbeth-The Installation "Stanton’s Lady Macbeth is open, wild, and powerful. She seems in close contact with the underworld that made manifest her husband’s rise to power and she plays into a dangerous, unlikeable demeanour." Suzy Goes See review of Scarcerow at Blood Moon Theatre "Romney Stanton is spectacular in the role of the deranged and very dramatic matriarch, using the character’s obsessive vigilance to deliver some deliciously operatic moments, full of flamboyant intensity. Stanton is mesmerising, wonderfully convincing as the mad rambling Rose." Sydney Arts guide review of Scarecrow at Blood Moon Theatre "Romney Stanton as Rose, who is simply mesmerising. Her work is yearning and plaintive with a particularly gripping rendering of the mysterious. She is pinched and sharp with excellent technical command of diction as her character ramps up the manoeuvring of Cally. In Stanton’s Rose we have a complex maternal mix of protection and self-interest." 2018 Suzy Goes See’s Best Of - Best Supporting Actor for Scarecrow That Eye The Sky, New Theatrev - Suzy Goes See 'His family is played by Romney Stanton and Emma Wright, both resplendent with sensitivity, nuance and psychological accuracy. Their work is restrained and elegant, but surprisingly memorable.' The Winters Tale, Theatre Now In this production it was the women who stood out for me. Grace Naoum and Romney Stanton gave powerful performances as Hermione and Paulina. I was disappointed that the director chose to have Stanton's commanding reprimand of the king with her back to most of the audience but she still dominated the stage.
