Camilla Mathias gives a formidable performance as the deliciously calculating Marquise de Mertueil. She sizzles with sexual power and professionalism in the womanly arts she has made it her business to cultivate for the domination of men.
Kate Sherratt, Camden New Journal.
Camilla Mathias is a spirited Mertueil and I especially admire her handling of the long feminist tract – the only time in which the character really exposes herself, rails against her fate as a woman and shows the motivation for her actions.
Aline Waites, Ham & High Series.
The snake-like Delphine is played with a sinister delight that actually makes her too sexually attractive for the good of the men in the audience. She does get her comeuppance, but it is hard to fight the almost irresistible urge to throw something at her at curtain call time. Now that’s what I call acting!
