"The casting is thrilling – Sarah Snook and Benedict Samuel are brilliant, ditto Rodger Corser – and also a little adventurous. Slotting the usually comic Gina Riley into a serious role is a gamble that pays big dividends.”
Sydney Morning Herald - THE BEAUTIFUL LIE (ABC)

"So rarely in Australian TV do we see well written character collide with dead-on casting and tense, atmospheric direction.”
The Age - WENTWORTH (Foxtel)

“an extraordinary female ensemble.”

"Pamela Rabe is a remarkable addition to the amazing cast for Wentworth.”
Inside Film - WENTWORTH (Foxtel)

"While with lesser actors it could play out as an irony-free Almodóvar movie, the genius of the production is to have cast actors most known for their stage work in the crucial roles.”
The Guardian - WENTWORTH (Foxtel)

“The casting… is masterful, especially McQuade, who has the uncanny look of someone who should have been cast in Prisoner.”
Herald Sun - WENTWORTH (Foxtel)

“A warm, madcap, razor-sharp scripted look at class and common ground…the entire cast is top class.” 
Empire Magazine - UPPER MIDDLE BOGAN (ABC)

“Cast perfectly and the writing  is spot-on…very funny ensemble comedy.” 
Sydney Morning Herald - UPPER MIDDLE BOGAN (ABC)

 “….a pitch-perfect cast, including the wonderful Patrick Brammall, a feisty Michala Banas and Robyn Nevin. I can't even tell you how good she is.” 
The Age - UPPER MIDDLE BOGAN (ABC)

“Another genius is in the casting… kid ensemble of Little Lunch manages an authenticity that’s vital to the show’s success – and by dropping you straight in the “kid logic” headspace, the looniest things become acceptable.” 
The Guardian - LITTLE LUNCH

Indeed, one of the pleasures here is the quality of the cast.
