Zena Carswell

"...an internal conflict that Zena Carswell exhibits wonderfully".

Camden New Journal; A Midsummer Night's Dream, Iris Theatre

"Stand outs include the talented Zena Carswell who, as an exasperated Helena amusingly suffering the indignities of unrequited love, has the facility of speaking Shakespeare’s verse and making it perfectly understandable to a contemporary audience. She does this in a way that is rare, not losing a single line of the beautiful poetry".

LondonTheatre1; A Midsummer Night's Dream, Iris Theatre

"Zena Carswell impresses as Helena, Hippolyta and Quince, bringing energy to each of the roles".

The Stage; A Midsummer Night's Dream, Iris Theatre

"Carswell delivers the most succulent of the three performances. Like Hilmarsson’s exquisite background composition, Carswell begins by slowly pervading the subconscious as she flits in and out of shadow. Her presence is felt even when she is absent– an indelible imprint on the production’s atmosphere".
