FULL CLIP LIBRARY OF WORK: https://sallymclean.com/videos-reels/ Recent acting accolades: Winner: Best Performer in a Play, 2024 Broadway World Melbourne Awards (Australia/USA) as “Louise”, Only Child (Chapel off Chapel) Winner: Best Actress, 2022 Andromeda Film Festival (Turkey) as “Macbeth”, Shakespeare Republic Winner: Best Actress in a Web Series, 2021 Unrestricted View Film Festival (UK) as “Macbeth”, Shakespeare Republic Nominated: Best Lead Actress in a TV Series - 2025 New Bedford Film Festival (USA) as "Hecate MacFindlay", Dark Arcadia Nominated: Best Actress – 2024 Webseries & Film Festival (Peru) as “Hecate MacFindlay”, Dark Arcadia Nominated: Outstanding Actor in a Principal Role (History), The Groundlings’ Choice Awards 2021 (UK) as “Queen Katherine”, Henry VIII Nominated: Best Supporting Performance, 2021 New Jersey Web Fest (USA) as “Macbeth”, Shakespeare Republic Recent press quotes: “McLean plays four other characters who serve to interrupt, comment on and move the action along. Her reading of the sleazy bartender called the Flamingo was hilarious and pretty much stole the show.” - Dark Stories review of "a fish is not a friend" at Montsalvat (Australia) "... incendiary performances from Sally McLean as Kate and Miguel Perez as Petruchio ..." - Mind The Blog (London Theatre Bloggers) review of "The Taming of The Shrew" by The Show Must Go Online on YouTube (UK) "Sally McLean as “Val Crane”, the embittered aunt of the lead character (Tess), found tremendous light and shade in a role that could have easily been played on the one angry note." - Theatre Alive review of "Flame Trees" at Theatreworks (Australia) "Two of the most emotionally draining episodes deal directly with grief and the loss of loved ones ... The final episode of the series features director McLean interpreting the famous “Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow” speech from act five of Macbeth … The poignancy of this episode comes from the juxtaposition of McLean’s affecting performance with the ambient noise in the background of the world attempting to return to some semblance of normalcy after months of lockdown … " - Shakespeare Bulletin review of "Shakespeare Republic: #AllTheWebsAStage" (USA) "The moral dilemma. Juicy. Delicious. Ideal for the stage … funny … dramatic … contains some pithy one liners and noteworthy sight gags … The seven-strong cast bounces off each other well with natural performances … an eminently watchable and enjoyable contemporary dramedy with broad appeal.” - The Blurb review of "Only Child" at Chapel off Chapel (Australia) Full Theatre, Film and TV credit and training list, plus additional photos and video clips available at https://www.sallymclean.com
