Reviews for ‘Catching Up’
Last Minute Theatre Tickets ☆☆☆☆
"Octavia Gilmore is excellent as the well connected, Becka. Gilmore manages to show Becka’s confident and bossy side well. Following the play’s first twist, which turns their friendship on its head, Gilmore uses a great mixture of delivery and facial expressions as Becka shows a nastier, bitchier side to her friend"
London Theatre 1 ☆☆☆☆
"Both Emily Schofield as Flo and Octavia Gilmore as Becka give powerful and nuanced performances of complex characters, comic timing is pin-sharp, and the piece shows its Ed Fringe pedigree."
Beginners to the Stage
"gripping from start to finish... Gilmore's powerful and emotional performance as Becka was wholly believable"
Broadway Baby
"Also to be commended are the two actors themselves for pulling off a demanding piece of work with flare... [they are] highly watchable and really bring the piece to life…. Gripping piece of new theatre”
