"A razor sharp production...Kosha Engler morphs, with sublime timing, from failing student to dangerous adversary."
Manchester Evening News

"A superlative production, meticulously thought through. Stinton and Engler are both faultless... giving generous and nuanced performances. She manages Carol's gradual transition brilliantly, suggesting much more menace at work beneath the peppy exterior... first-rate acting."

"Kosha Engler shines as 'Fag Hag' Judy, her strong cynical exterior tamed effectively by Victor Perez's alluring Duke."
The Drama Student Magazine

"Kosha Engler as Judy is the most engaging... making light work of Judy's navel-gazing with a fleet and bouncy delivery... she has a genuinely comical sense of mounting neurotic despair."

Cat's Paw by William Mastrosimone
King's Head Theatre, London

"This smart, gripping play is rigorously intelligent and scalpel sharp...Among a strong cast, Kosha Engler is a dynamic, credible news hack"
Time Out London ***** / Critics' Choice

"Jessica Lyons (Kosha Engler) is every bit the ruthless journo, hungry for the story, unapologetically vain and devoured by a morbid curiosity for disaster. Engler's performance is always on the mark, portraying the consummate professional and also a woman of integrity and compassion."
