Lara Vivone. Actor.

“Marianne creates a rehearsal environment that is fertile ground for creativity. She does not place any expectation on the actors to sacrifice themselves for art, but, in believing in us, cultivating respect and friendship with the ensemble, and her clear utter dedication to each and every project, it makes her cast want to push themselves to create the best piece of art possible. Beyond that, her creative mind knows no bounds, often introducing new and exciting proposals in a way that is natural and informed”.

Nicollah Sekete. Actor.

“Working with Marianne has been a joy to do as an actor. Her well-structured and organised approach to rehearsals has been very reassuring and allows me to be at ease knowing that she has already in advance prepared what she would like for us to work on that day. Marianne is also conscious of our needs as actors in development and has worked to ensure our topics of interest are included in our preparation for this project. I was very excited to be a part of the project and was confident that with her at the helm it would be a success”.

John Basset. Writer/ Actor/ Director. Spaniel in the Works Theatre Company.

“Marianne is excellent to work with providing a good sounding board for ideas whilst offering many new ideas of her own. She is a committed director always aiming to get the best possible results from her actors and crew by creating a relaxed atmosphere. Marianne always shows strong imaginative flair and finds ways to solve problems and the artistic potential to improve any project”.
