"Five stars: A stand out performance by Alys Daroy"—Time Out London

"Alys Daroy, in the title role of Emma Bovary, delivers a performance of pellucid beauty ... Miraculously drawing one into her innermost desires and vulnerability, this intricate, intimate, magnetic performance is a revelation, and lives on in the memory. She even draws humour, born of the anomalies of Bovary's own personality, which pours from Daroy's insight" —Chicago Critic

"Absolutely riveting ... the seeds of her eventual madness showed themselves in early decisions made. From her first entrance to her last, there was not a moment missed ... the most convincing Ophelia I have ever seen"—Andrew Muir, Shakespeare in Cambridge

"From her performance as Anna Karenina, Alys Daroy is obviously destined to be one of the leading stage actresses of her generation"—Sky TV, Take 101

"Alys Daroy is gutsy and passionate ... a stand out as Margarita in Bulgakov's masterpiece"—Camden Journal

"Alys Daroy is a fabulous Queen, utterly plausible in her ambition" —Chris Boyd, Melbourne Arts, The Australian

"Alys Daroy slithered, simpered and snarled about the stage like a nasty femme fatale (akin tot he prowess of Cate Blanchett). Her Queen combined regal pomposity with visceral nastiness, demonstrating adroit acting talent, Her career trajectory should be one to monitor: I found her mesmerising. Her work was intelligent and commanding." —Toorak Times

Royal National Theatre and Sunday Times Ian Charleson Commendation for Outstanding Performance in a Classical Production as Yelena in Chekhov's The Wood Demon

Research and creative projects on this site took place across the unceded lands of the Noongar, Kaurna, and Cammeraygal peoples. I acknowledge the deep time custodianship, ecological wisdom, and artistic knowledge embedded in First Nations cultures, and recognise their ongoing contributions to storytelling, land care and performance. I pay respect to Elders past and present, and to all First Nations peoples whose Country, knowledges, and cultures continue to shape this work. Sovereignty was never ceded.
