Quotes for SATTF Productions include:
“Chris Donnelly's Iago is the most restrained and unshowy I've encountered, and this makes the seeping of his poison into Othello's mind all the more compelling and credible.”
The Guardian ****
“I have seen more wicked Iago’s but none so businesslike as Chris Donnelly’s passed-over NCO, whose crisp manner conceals a heart of bile. There’s a depth to his evil that is unknown even to him.”
The Independent ****
“Iago (Chris Donnelly) gradually becomes more and more sinister because there’s nothing sinister about him: a quiet, thin-lipped, open-faced fellow, amenable, matter-of-fact, calm. Never underestimate a quiet man.”
The Sunday Times ***
“…Chris Donnelly, whose Autolycus is a masterpiece of comic acting – his performance earning him an ovation with every exit”.
The Independent
“The second half is amusingly propelled by Chris Donnelly’s rogue to end all rogues of an Autolycus…”
The Stage
“Chris Donnelly strikes comic gold with his wickedly quick-witted Autolycus.”
