Press:
“At the centre of it all, Rachel Seeto delivers a Claudia of remarkable specificity, embedding every gesture with subtext and every line with nuanced intention. Her commanding physicality—assured, fluid, and precise—effectively defines the production’s hybrid aesthetic." —Suzy Wrong ★★★★½
“Rachel Seeto is a compelling anchor as Claudia, balancing razor-sharp comedy with genuine emotional vulnerability.“ —Theatre Reflections ★★★★
“Rachel Seeto holds the centre, and it is not the kind of holding that shows. She is on stage for the entire ninety minutes, and the play never leaves her body. You can see her think. You can see her decide. It is thinking made visible, interior life audible, and it is done without a single one of the tricks that lesser actors deploy to indicate cogitation — no thumb-on-chin, no long stare into the middle distance. She simply is thinking, and we are simply watching, and it is unfair how easy she makes it look." —Sydney Dramaturgical ★★★★½
