In 50 years … one of the best actors I have had the pleasure of working with … great versatility in both comedy & drama, from strong to delicate .. imbues her characters with great humanity, empathy & sympathy .. detail & depth she brings to each performance is exquisite. Her effect on an audience is mesmerising .. ultimate story teller.”

Consistently imaginative … emotionally full & truthful … a wide range …. comedic, dramatic, contemporary or classical ….. I recommend her without qualification.”

What O’Driscoll is master of is pause and sudden tangent. The surprise monologue, the hilariously detailed aside, the squirm of embarrassment, and the language of love and forgiveness and letting go. What O’Driscoll brings even more than the humour is the sudden abiding grief. And what she gets more than grief is life-affirming humour, and what she gets most is utter exhaustion…. No, she’s of a piece. This is consummately acted, wholly believable, the most original riff on the Seven Ages I’ve seen, and so beautifully subsumed you might not notice it at all.
