Press Coverage

  • REVIEW: Comedy of Errors - Australian Shakespeare Company

    "Laugh-out-loud funny at times, with clever direction and brilliant performances from a strong ensemble of actors - I highly recommend this show to anyone who thinks Shakespeare is dry and difficult - once you see this production your opinion will be forever reversed. The ASC has proved that the Bard can be as funny and highly entertaining now as he would have been when Lizzy the First was on the throne. Highlights ... Sally McLean as "Dowsabel" - her commitment to character and belief in the world on stage makes her a joy to watch ... Don't miss this show. Five out of five stars."

  • REVIEW: Chasing Pegasus: A Play in Ten Chords

    "The cast were all strong performers, playing their well-drawn characters with truth and believability, but the standouts were ... Sally McLean ("Katherine") who drew an achingly beautiful and entirely convincing portrait of a woman in crisis and conflict, caught between her love for and abject fear of a brutal husband."

    Theatre Australia
  • REVIEW: The Auxiliary

    "The artists: Sonya Kerr, Amy Felman, Lily Frances, Katie Boon, Caroline Lloyd and Sally McLean. The girls worked well together with no hesitation in their performances. Emotions ranged from comedy to grief , drama and dance, all done with ease and professionalism."

    PK Theatre Reviews
  • REVIEW: The Clairvoyant

    "The cast are all superb actors. Judith (played by Sally McLean), starts off as a likable, genuine character ... McLean gave the character great vulnerability and depth, as well as being convincing as an early sufferer of MS ..."

    Theatre Talk
  • REVIEW: Lovepuke

    "... an excellent night's entertainment. Laughs galore, strong comedic acting - altogether a really tight show. All the cast's performances were delightful ... the two actors that had the toughest job as far as the laugh lines department goes - Bruce Woolley as "Glen" and Sally McLean as "Marissa" - shone for me, both making what could have been the most bland of lines funny."

    CitySearch
  • REVIEW: Macbeth

    “… an utterly convincing performance as the old Scottish King, belying the fact that McLean is not only young and a woman, but also Australian.”

    Time Out London
  • REVIEW: A Little Rain Must Fall

    "The cast were superb, all of them giving strong performances, particularly Rebecca Nunn, Joanna Goodchild, James Buckley and Sally McLean. "
