Reviews:
“An actress to watch out for.” (The Stage, London)
“A remarkable stage debut by Ivy Omere as Rosalind.” (Avon Advertiser)
“It was excellent to see Ivy Omere like Victoria Woodward moving so successfully from drama school to a major Shakespeare role” (Shakespeare Survey Vol. 52).
“Ivy Omere fresh out of drama school is an enchanting Rosalind” (Western Daily).
“As Juliette, Ivy Omere is stunning; whilst talking from her hotel room I could not only envisage the room, but the entire building containing it, the streets beyond and sense the life outside. Her eyes alone conveyed everything” (Oxford Daily).
“Ivy Omere’s delightful Constance…” (The Sunday Times).
