Lysistrata - ‘Greek at school was never as naughty and so much fun as this.’
What’s on Stage
Lysistrata - ‘A slick, hilariously funny show, which rattles along at high speed on the strength of fine ensemble work from its cast of five……Timeless stuff.’
The Stage
Bacchic - Thoughtful and intelligent…Shasha has the acting as well as the rope skills..a most unusual and rewarding hour
The Times
Oedipus - David Stuttard’s adaptation is gripping stuff, as sharp as steel and wholly accessible…superb.
The Stage
Agamemnon - This mesmerising theatrical coup held the audience enthralled.
The Spectator
Trojan Women - admirably direct and accessible…….beautifully acted production.
The Guardian
Electra - emotionally compelling and subtle in its modernity…a powerful production with strong performances.
The Argus
Antigone - fast paced and taut, incorporating atmospheric music, balletic movement and pared-down performances…one to savour
Irish Times
Medea - A fine performance…expressive movement choreographed by Thea Barnes, with David Stuttard’s translation and direction, make this myth almost credible to modern interpretations.
What’s On
Bacchae - Strongly visual, almost cinematic experience, strong on sensuality and eroticism
Sheffield Telegraph
Grave Gifts - Every sense is stimulated….a perfect blend of movement, music, costume and performance, quite cinematic and highly dramatic.
Edinburgh Evening News

MEDEA Penguin Audiobook:
Good performances all round, especially from Tamsin Shasha in the title role, make it clear why the Greeks were so excited by this play more than a millennium ago
Financial Times
Tamsin Shasha is chillingly convincing as the mad but marvellous Medea
The Independent
ANTIGONE: The incredibly agile Tamsin Shasha played Teiresias, whose display of aerial gymnastics…greatly added to this remarkable performance
Halifax Courier
Particularly striking was Tamsin Shasha’s Teiresias hanging head-down by one leg from a bar, talking to Creon of the need for balance…breathtaking
Venue Magazine, Bristol
BACCHAE: Tamsin’s soliloquy as Dionysus was superbly performed Dionysus..inspired casting she moves with power, agility and potent sexuality…worthy of any good physical theatre performance I have seen
South West Arts
Having Tamsin Shasha play Dionysus added a welcome ambiguity to the gender war-her agility never ceased to impress
Aberdeen Chronicle
AGAMEMNON: Tamsin Shasha was outstanding in the central role, imbuing Clytemnestra with a tantalising mixture of menace and tenderness
The Spectator
