MERCHANT OF VENICE

“The standout performance, however, was Will Harrison-Wallace’s Shylock, who expertly captured the dual nature of the character as both villain and victim.”……“but it was his heartfelt interpretation of the famous ‘if you prick us, do we not bleed?’ speech that provided the play’s most affecting moment.” …….“His entrapment by Portia, while disguised as Balthazar, seemed more cruel than cathartic, such was the sympathy he evoked.”

– The Shakespeare Standard

THE ODD COUPLE

“A hilarious evening..” “…includes a number of big laughs – mostly at the expense of the annoyingly neurotic Felix Ungar, superbly played by Will Harrison-Wallace”

– The Clacton Gazette

HEARTBREAK HOTEL

“Will Harrison-Wallace as the hotel proprietor is very watchable in this role – he’s passionate, nostalgic and completely heartbroken.”

– Makingthemarrow.com

– British Theatre Guide

THE CORRUPTION OF DORIAN GRAY

“…Will Harrison-Wallace’s assured turn as Lord Henry Wotton, who inhabits the role of the worldly bon vivant with flair and conviction.”

– The Stage

THE CORRUPTION OF DORIAN GRAY

“Will Harrison-Wallace as arch-corrupter Henry Wotton was good at capturing the lighter wit of Wilde’s original text and the squalid nature of a man enjoying the ignominy of another.”

– The Public Reviews

A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE

“Harrison-Wallace’s inspired turn as the tragic hero really gets to the core of his complicated humanity”…… “Even the lighter moments are infused with his irritability.”

– Total Musings

A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE

“Will Harrison-Wallace is superb, bringing a surprising amount of sympathy to a character who is balanced on a knife between anger and futility.”

– Kentish Times

A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE

“Will Harrison-Wallace follows in the footsteps of Michael Gambon and Ken Stott as the domineering Eddie, giving a performance filled with such underlying menace that the auditorium is bursting with tension by the time the play reaches its devastating conclusion.”

– The Stage

A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

“…Will Harrison-Wallace, who despite got getting the jokes is really quite lovely as Rabbi Brian.”

– The Frinton and Clacton Gazette
