THE UGLY SISTERS

"Ugly sisters, Eloise Howe and Rosalind Davidson, worked brilliantly as a comic double act, tackling their roles with much enthusiasm. From sisterly rivalry to farcical river dancing, both displayed comic timing and sharp delivery. They gained the audience’s sympathy with their believable innocence and captivating dreams of a fairytale ending."

"Fat Bellies Productions staged a pantomime with a difference this Christmas, flying the flag for the Ugly Sisters. Naomi Martell directed a wonderfully spirited, fast-paced and colourful show that turned the traditional Cinderella story on its head with sauce, mayhem and murder."

Ella-Louise Gilbert - Theatre in Wales

"Eloise Howe and Rosalind Davidson certainly win the audiences sympathy with their excellent comic performances. This mixture of comedy, dance and reworked carols is no Christmas turkey; there are twists aplenty and more surprises than a sleigh-load of crackers and with infinitely better jokes than your average festive fare. This production, fine tuned by director Naomi Martell, will leave you with a belly full of laughs."

Geraint Thomas Theatre in Wales

... "Eloise Howe and Bethan Thomas have a script here that can be sparkling, lyrical, funny and witty as well as hinting at a smart feminist (or is it post-feminist?) theme.

... an anarchic subversive romp... there's enthusiasm and some nice comic performances... the cast put their all into it... It's well rehearsed and oozes confidence... there's real talent here".

David Adams, Western Mail

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

" It was two words spoken by Lady Bracknell   which, provided maximum impact. When she discovered that her prospective son-in-law was found as a baby in a handbag, she made the well known exclamation, "A Handbag!".

Rosalind Davidson didn't speak the words in the way made famous by the 1952 film but her emphasis had equal impact.

Her booming, throaty, upperclass voice made Rosalind an ideal choice for the overpowering part."

Julia Taylor - Manchester Evening News

"... it benefits... from producing a Lady Bracknell (Rosalind Davidson) who is more obnoxious committee lady than aristocratic dragon... there is something of a golden summer feel to it.

TRAINSPOTTING

".. Rosalind Davidson's portrayal of Alison's distress at the death of her baby is heart-wrenching, as Alison realises her baby died while   she satisfied her heroine needs."  

" This is a truly superb performance and a must - see for any fans of gritty drama."

Bromley Extra

" The solitary woman is Rosalind Davidson as Alison and a host of other parts, not necessarily gentler than the male roles. We would be almost as embarrassed to share a train compartment with her as with the psychotic Begbie."

" The cast of four is compelling and dispels any doubts about the difficulty of overcoming memories of the film version."

The Stage - Barbara Lewis

MACBETH

"With traditional staging in Elizabethan-style costume's this production works most effectively within the intimate confines its studio space... the unfolding tragedy of overweening ambition, treachery and brutal murder is placed squarely on the cast of 11... Rosalind Davidson as his (Macbeth's) most seductive helpmate, spurs on her wavering husband with an intensity, full of sexual power, that allows no turning back."   -

John Holliday - The Stage

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

"... Quince, a fussy Scots spinster who despairs of her amateur troup of boozy and high Rude Mechanicals, a small part played with such confidence by Rosalind Davidson I quake slightly at the anticipation of seeing her as   Lady Macbeth and look forward immensely to her beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing."

David Adams - The Western Mail

" Staging such an elaborate and   much -   loved play with a cast of nine is undoubtedly an ambitious task. But in the event, the sheer zest and infectious enthusiasm of the youthful company in their modern dress proves irresistable...Ian Pringle and Rosalind Davidson, as Bottom and Quince, relish their opportunities in the never- failing burlesque of the tragic Pyramus and Thisbe."

SHOWCASE

FACE OF THE FUTURE

"... Rosalind Davidson is mesmerising... there are few today that have the secret element of pure natural talent, yet here was Rosalind positively brimming with it."

" Davidson commands attention with her presence and acting ability, including her clipped English accent completely disguising the native Scottish accent."

ShowBuzz.Biz

" Rosalind Davidson brought bold glamour and bold gestures to her acusative solo as Ruth in Kiss Me Like You Mean It - an impression heightened with her duologue as Moliere's Celimene."

John Thaxter - The Stage
