Belinda Giblin

Notes

Personal Notices quotes for Belinda Giblin in “Venus and Adonis”, Sport for Jove, Seymour Centre, playing until 28th Oct. Sydney Arts Guide: “Belinda Giblin plays Queen Elizabeth 1. She is magnificent in the role--loveable, dominating, progressive, powerful. Please let us see Belinda in these strong roles more often!” Sydney Morning Herald/The Age “..the rehearsal is gate-crashed by the queen, whereupon Belinda Giblin magnificently commands the stage.” “…Eve’s Apology is movingly delivered by Giblin to end the play.” Limelight “..in which Elizabeth 1 (marvellously performed here by Belinda Giblin)will play a role.” “……Giblin reigns supreme every time she occupies the stage and she dominates the latter part of the second act with her earthy, whip smart Elizabeth 1, a queen deeply aware of the performative aspects of power”. SuziGoSee “…Belinda Giblin, playing Queen Elizabeth 1….performer robust with humour and meaning, completely magnetic whenever given opportunity to occupy centre stage!” Time Out “Belinda Giblin plays Elizabeth 1 with a great sense of the comedy and tragedy in what it’s like to be a woman as well as a queen!” Sydney Scoop" “Belinda Giblin plays Queen Elizabeth 1 and her years of acting give her role a well deserved gravitas, as her very presence commands audience attention!” On the House “Belinda Giblin, (reprising her role from the feature film), ..was both commanding and regal, showcasing a distinct no-nonsence intelligence and sharp humour.” City Hub “Some of the peak moments are provided by Belinda Giblin as Queen Elizabeth 1. Her make-up, dress and posture are consummate and she has a natural regal air. ….If only there had been more of her. Her character and Giblin herself bring a refreshing diversity to the stage and Giblin is endlessly watchable!” Stagenoise “Belinda Giblin doesn’t disappoint when she makes her snippy regal entrance…….the principals..breathe life and fire into the piece and make it memorable.” Stage Whispers “…the Virgin Queen Elizabeth (a splendid Belinda Giblin).” Theatre Travels “One character who is not easy to forget is Belinda Giblin’s Queen Elizabeth 1. Dressed in full to neck ruff, Giblin’s Elizabeth is witty, towering, regal and fun”. SMH The Weekend (Belvoir Street Theatre) July/Aug 2023 “The odds of a show starring Belinda Giblin…being a dud are all but non existant!” 30 Years Experience in Voice Over for Television and Radio, Ashton Scholastic Book Readings and CD-ROM, Corporate Videos, 100% Commercials, Corporate Trainer.
