Reviews

"It is very impressive that Carbon is able to convey so much emotion with little more than a facial expression. Indeed, so much of the production’s great background humour stems from Carbon. She has such a command of scenic language that she is able to tell so much with but the simplest of facial expressions. Notably, the production features an exceptional dialogue exchange, with Carbon delivering an explosive tirade that serves as the culmination of the buildup throughout the entire production. Absolutely nothing about Carbons performance feels unearned and she is purely captivating" - Bravo Brisbane, 2023
