'Reviews' - what the critics say

"...Fensome and Mulder make heavy going of the first 10 minutes, but the pace hots up as the star of the evening arrives in the person of Kym Suttle.

He is the archetypal farcical figure, a somewhat randy country bumpkin whose naive ways are matched by an irresistibly vulnerable charm. In the classic tradition of the farce, he becomes the fall-guy and the accidental hero of the piece.

It is not a great role, but Suttle attacks it with gusto and keen theatrical intelligence. He measures his effects, he knows where his laughs lie and he gets them effortlessly every time..."

-BARRY RONGE - on Boeing-Boeing

ETR (expected time of revival) for Boeing-Boeing, the evergreen, festive comedy, is December 1, at the Loft theatre of the Natal Playhouse. And it may not be such a comfortable flight, judging by the panic in the flight deck, left Mark Mulder, and his friend Kym Suttle. The play, about an architect and his three air-hostess fiancées, is scheduled to stay at the Loft until the end of the year

Cinderella and the Coat of Skins, BAC, London: " James Menzies-Kitchin's smart direction coupled with Kym Suttle's choreography makes this Cinderella compelling viewing. Clever human mortgages are created where the actors draw images around each other, tumbling and leaping around in a manner reminiscent of the great Pina Bausch"

- Mandarine Gale, What's on

Miss Julie, by Strindberg (choreographed and performed by Kym Suttle): "This excellent production has been newly translated... THe lack of reticence is felt in the language and the performances, as well as in a strange sequence which erupts on stage after Lady Julie and servant Jean have gone into the bedroom. Two dancers (Erika Glover and Kym Suttle) perform a wild, abandoned ps de deux, knocking over the chairs, setting the light swinging violently and ending with the man holding the woman upside down by her ankles... without having to change a word of the text it turns up the heat effectively."

Naughty Boys: "Eric Bouvron and Kym Suttle as the Dentist and his male nurse respectively created a crazy duo which not only nearly lost the patient but also nearly lost some members of the audience who seemed to have split their sides."

- Germaine Glueck

Merlin, by Tankred Dorst, Arts Threshold, London: " ... this talented ensemble try their best - memorable moments include...and Kym Suttle's final eerie mid-air dance."

- Time Out

Merlin: "Favorite moments include.... and Kym Suttle's exquisite dance as the pure Sir Galahad."

- What's On London

Get Screwed! written, directed and performed by Kym Suttle: No need to go into too much detail on this one: just make sure you've got a ticket for it. It was packed for the opening performance, which says something for the energy being generated by the Loft Theatre Company.

Its a punchy satirical song-and-dance rather than cabaret, full of sharp wit and sheer good fun. The engaging and seemingly effortless performances conceal a lot of hard work, polished with old-fashioned verve and energy. Not many shows will put their audiences in as good a mood as this."

- David Williams, Financial Mail

Get Screwed!: If all that po-faced angst of experimental theatre is prompting you to reach for the razor-blades, Get Screwed! may juat save your miserable, pointless, ultimately futile life... Dressed in standard cabaret style evening gear, Kym Suttle, Wilmien Rossouw, Lisa Bobbert and Christopher Catherine (with Anthony Stonier on piano) perform their hour long romp with wit verve and - above all -a thorough undrestanding of what will bump an audience's funny bone..... the fa'la'la-ing foursome, sometimes sounding like the New York cult group The Roches - produce enough sweetly harmonised, witty one-liners to hold one's attention throughout."

"THE BEAUX' STRATEGEM directed and designed by John Caviggia for the University of Cape Town Drama School (Little Theatre)...

...Kym Suttle makes a delightfully foppish Aimwell astutely balancing a tightrope between effeminacy poetic womanising..."

-FIONA SHORT

Kym Suttle as Aimwell (left) and Warrick Grier as Archer

...The leads were competently filled. Kym Suttle as Aimwell was aptly flamboyant and foppish in his finery, yet a surprisingly earnest and honest young man in his nightshirt..."

-FIONA CHISHOLM

"... overall it is the men's voice work which is impressive. There is for example Kym Suttle as Aimwell, a very buoyant and amusing gentleman..."

- Christo Behrens

"HE may be a "bear of very little brain", but AA Milne's Winnie the Pooh is still a most entertaining and lovable bear and Napac's Loft Theatre Company production, directed by Murray McGibbon, makes for light and nostalgic entertainment....
...Lindelani Buthelezi is a cuddly and enquiring Pooh, Wilmien Rossouw is the ever-anxious, roly-poly Piglet (it was a little disconcerting to have Piglet referred to as "her" though), Eeyore (Timothy Wells) is suitably depressed, pessimistic and sarcastic and not very "how" at all, and Kym Suttle is a growly, bouncy Tigger experimenting with what Tiggers like best.
It's all lots of fun and the adults often seem to be enjoying themselves more than the children, so don't feel that a child in tow is a pre-requisite for attendance."

- SALLY SCOTT

The Ghost Sonata, by Ibsen: Kym Suttle in the major lead role of the old man Hummel, gives an expressive and convincing performance, both vocally and physically."
