Reviews

..’for me the performance of the evening was Sharon Coade as Shelly “The Machine”Levene. Both tragic and comic at the same time she never let one overpower the other in bringing to life a desperate, aging saleswoman with a sick daughter. For her the stakes are higher than most and the way she flips from her characters highs to her characters lows without dropping a beat was a joy to behold.’

Caomhan Keane – Totally Dublin – Glengarry Glen Ross

..’the cast, who deliver a series of star turns. Special mention must go to Sharon Coade and Jane Elizabeth Walsh for stepping into Lemmon’s and Pacino’s shoes respectively….’

Le Cool – Glengarry Glen Ross

..’Sharon Coade’s Shelly ‘The Machine’ Levene, who pulls off a convincingly femme (and sympathetic) Jack Lemmon’
