On "Old Bags"

 

“This is a beautiful and poetic insight into ageing from a very exciting writer…The plot of this finely tuned play is an excellent example of craftsmanship …excellent Martin Aukland as Dorian ….fantastic script” Four Stars - Fringe Review
 
“The production is extremely well directed and professional throughout… Lilia Vara who plays both Anne and Dorian's girlfriend Sandra almost simultaneously at times … handles both very capably and differently which is not an easy challenge…an emotive work beneficial to theatre and all those who see it” Three stars Remote Goat
 
"Sibéal McGuinne gives a very poetic and touching performance as Vivian. Vivian’s scenes with Gloria (an impressive Suni La) are both tender and disturbing...the writing is of extremely high quality" Uk theatre net

 

On "Les Chaises"

"Sharon Enav’s direction brings a prickly tension"

"‘Attempts’ is performed with great panache by Mark Huhnen, Jennifer Pearcy-Edwards and Alex Kanefksy"

"‘Attempts’ that will blow you out of the water with its brave experimentation in form and charismatic performances"

THE WRONG SLEEP at COCK TAVERN THEATRE

"Nadia Shash is highly watchable as Janet, who seems to respond instinctively to the dramatic twists and turns of her character, and David McCelland is excellent as the persecuted priest."

"Mazzilli’s intense, poetic language flits between themes of sex and incest, imperialism and terrorism, compassion and retribution. It challenges and touches the audience, and despite striving to be a little too intellectually abstract at times, manages to engage from beginning to end."

"If you want to see theatre that breaks away from the bog-standard commercial norm this is the show to see."

 The Wrong Sleep Venue: Etcetera Theatre

 

"Mary Mazzilli’s The Wrong Sleep refuses to sit on the fence, nor does it wait on the sidelines."

"Mazzilli’s writing is poetic, strange and enlightening. The language very much in the style of Martin Crimp, giving the audience the reins in determining what is happening to the characters. Mazzilli’s style of theatre is excellent for a discerning, inquisitive audience member who enjoys a challenge. There is definite potential for this show to succeed in a longer run."
