Friday Five: Daisy reviews

1. Len Power 12/09/26: The passing scenery outside a train window and the framed school portraits are particularly imaginative and amusing. Everyone has their moment and there are some outstanding performances. This is a funny play and a nostalgic dive back into the literature that people of a certain age grew up with. Canberra Critics Circle: DAISY PULLS IT OFF
   
2. Alanna MacLean 12/09/26: It’s a big all-female cast and there are gems all over it. Daisy survives the plots to pull it off | Canberra CityNews
3. Bill Stephens 14/09/26: quirky stagings for key moments; excellent production standards, the laugh-out-loud moments, and the witty sight gags. Canberra Critics Circle: DAISY PULLS IT OFF – Canberra Repertory
4. John P Harvey 15/09/26: The production’s most delightful moments arose in using the cast to hold or to become props and scenery: brilliant staging. All of the cast did an amazing job in word and action. Daisy Pulls It Off | Stage Whispers
5. Simon Tolhurst 19/09/26: All in all. this is a jolly fun romp of a play, with a rich team rolling us through Daisy's first student year as she faces perils, triumphs and a few surprise secrets on her way to a resolutely super-joyous-happy-ending. That Guy who Watches Canberra Theatre: Daisy Pulls It Off, Canberra Rep, 10-26 Sep
6. Peter Wilkins 20/09/26: Daisy Pulls It Off is an affirmation of gender equality and society’s responsibility to recognize and promote opportunity for all women, irrespective of class or background. In providing this important message in an entertaining production, Rep’s latest production has definitely pulled it off. Canberra Critics Circle: DAISY PULLS IT OFF
