‘The Exorcist’
28 June - 14 July 2024
“Charlotte Rubendra’s transformation into the possessed young girl was nothing short of mesmerising”
“Yasmin Elahi’s direction was nothing short of visionary, seemlessly translating the iconic horror of ‘The Exorcist’ from screen to stage.”
“Adrian Mackay stole scenes as Burke, infusing the eccentric uncle with charisma and well-timed comedic relief”
“Kaitlyn Harding’s portrayal of Reagan is nothing short of phenomenal.”
“Special effects by Rowany Blackshaw are outstanding, featuring moving objects, haze, blood and even the infamous projective vomit and levitating scenes.”
“Meticulous attention to detail ensured every scene dripped with atmospheric dread.”
Winner of the 2024 Stage Buzzies Award for ‘Best Special Effect Design’, ‘Best Sound Design’ ‘Best Make Up Design’ and ‘Best Supporting Actress’
Nominated for 11 Gold Palm Theatre Awards, including ‘Best Director’, ‘Best Leading Actress’, ‘Best Technical Achievement’, ‘Best Sound Design’ and ‘Outstanding Play’
