Clive Evans (Producer: Nice
Pictures) on LOL:
"Many congratulations!!!! You
must/should feel very proud at the reception you got tonight.
LOVELY. Very funny, moving and perfect. Excellent stuff and
reminded me of La Ronde.
Could LOL stand for LUST ON LINE?"
remotegoat (Maddy
Ryle):
"Short, funny, bitter
and sweet... laugh-out-loud funny."
Further audience comments on LOL:
- "Brilliant"
- "A masterpiece"
- "Remarkable"
- "A tour de force - Rosalind Adler at her best"
- "LOL will have you gripped
from start to finish - a truly original and brilliant piece of
work"

I have also received excellent feedback on my other shows premiered
in The Comedy Project: Drastic
Plastic (2008), Bruised Blueberries (2007)

| BETWEEN FRIENDS |
I recently appeared as Laura in Between
Friends, a new play written by Carolyn
Pertwee and me. We played to packed houses and
excellent audience response.
We hope Between Friends will
now enjoy further success elsewhere. Watch this space.
Gene David Kirk (Theatre
503) on Between Friends...
"A visceral piece of writing with palpable tensions underscoring
a seemingly domestic drama. Secrets and lies unravel in this
world of high stakes and the need for love." |
Cast (l to r)
Rosalind Adler - Laura
Catherine Shipton - Helen
Edmund Dehn - Paul
Gyles Brandreth on Between
Friends...
"Funny, touching, beautifully observed - . a constantly
surprising emotional roller-coaster that has you hooked from
start to finish." |
JUBILATE!
Everyone knows someone who thinks they know best. In Jubilate! that
someone is Anna, vicar's wife and
radio personality. She has her own life sorted out - apparently
- and now thinks it'd be a good idea to sort out everyone else's......oh
dear.

Barry Humphries on Jubilate!...
"I'm so glad I came - I was so impressed by your acting
and your writing"
and Libby Purves...
"This is marvellous - a real miniature drama crackling
with comedy both dark and light"

SEXOLOGICALLY SPEAKING
I was in two of a quartet of Carolyn Pertwee's
excellent short plays from 15th to 18th November in a sell-out
run at the O.S.O. in Barnes.
(OSO Box Office: 020 8876 9885) The evening was called Sexologically
Speaking. I appeared in Double
Image and On Thin Ice. The
plays are sexy, funny and fab.
