All On Her Own: Zoe Wanamaker
Commentaires : Harlequinade will play in repertory with The Winter's Tale. Part of The Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company Season
Presse : "Wanamaker, who, in the monologue All On Her Own, brings a brilliant, layered depth to the role of the newly widowed woman who hits the whisky and pay dirt as she talks to the departed husband who may or may not have killed himself." Paul Taylor for The Independent

"Harlequinade: It’s hardly major Rattigan but it shows actors delightedly sending up a happily vanished theatrical world. All On Her Own: Wanamaker, sprawled over a sofa in humiliating self-abasement, performs the piece with a soul-baring virtuosity that transcends the material and confirms that the Branagh season is devoted to actors." Michael Billington for The Guardian

"Harlequinade: Slight and appealingly silly piece. All On Her Own: [Zoë Wanamaker's] performance is at once fierce and melancholy — finely judged and genuinely sad." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard
