Alfred Hickling
The Guardian on Twelfth Night

Kennedy's ability to inhabit a vast array of completely distinct characters is awe-inspiring

The Guardian
on Hunch

best of all is newcomer Kate Kennedy who steals the show many times over as Helena. Such a breathtaking debut we cannot recall, Kennedy has an exquisite gift for comedy and we can’t wait to see what she does next
