“The cast is performance perfection. Monette Magrath will steal your heart as Lizzie Curry, a bright woman who lacks social confidence but longs for companionship.”
“And A Nightingale Sang… has a cast that captures every richly textured moment of the play. Monette Magrath is superb in the role of the older daughter, Helen Stott who also rounds out the story with a thoughtful narration. ”
“…a lot of the excitement to be experienced exists because of the really wonderful job the actors did keeping up with the plot they were given; honestly, the fun I had watching them really did not have much of a precedent...Magrath portrays her character as a very meek and submissive aid to her husband’s master plan...I very much enjoyed watching her try to reign in her husband’s ambitions...”
“Beautiful Monette Magrath textures her performance as Olivia so well that there is no acting involved, just Magrath living as Olivia. The character’s pain and conflicted pattern of making decisions, after being subjected to harsh criticism for her writing, which represents her very essence, and believing that she must listen to those outside voices, is readily apparent. Her sensitivity not to trust and be pulled in again, causes her not to trust Ethan’s motives. This is a fine and focused performance.”
