comments
'Secomb, never puts a foot wrong…compelling storytelling that draws us in. The work on character has drawn superb performances from the entire cast.'
Coral Drouyn | Stage Whispers | Fun Home
-
'Confident direction was evident throughout the performance - excellent casting to the staging, and deliberate use of the intimate performance area was on point, laying the perfect platform for the performers to shine.'
David Wilson | Absolute Theatre | Fun Home
-
'Secomb’s directorial choices were some of the biggest triumphs on Phoenix Ensemble’s stage all year. The respect for comedic timing and witty interactions between characters was honoured perfectly.'
Liv Wilson | Absolute Theatre | It Shoulda Been You
-
'Secomb’s direction allows the play to ebb and flow through happiness, heartbreak and humour, while always keeping the focus on the people at the story’s heart.'
