“Helen Goldwyn’s loquacious new neighbour, nurse Angela, is a painfully humorous study of pie-eyed drunken gabbling and wide-eyed wonder…Legs splayed and words tumbling around her, she never overplays a line.”
Charles Hutchinson – Manchester Evening Press
‘Angela’ in ABIGAIL’S PARTY – York Theatre Royal
“Leg crossingly hilarious…brilliantly brought to life…a Goldilocks with Bonnie Langford Syndrome – a terrific turn by Helen Goldwyn.”
