Abby Hampton steals the show with her portrayal of the naïve, determined and lovelorn Juliet, who becomes increasing more self-assured as the plot develops.
-
Abby Hampton is superb as Juliet, sensitively portraying the joy and fears of the character’s first love. Hampton’s nuanced performance also demonstrates she has a mature understanding of Juliet’s struggle against the restrictive norms of her family and society. There is a feistiness to Hampton’s Juliet that helps prevent the character from being saccharine-sweet or submissive.

Hampton conveys an unusual acting quality of having her character appear to self-reflect on every line and situation, adding an extra dimension of veracity. A stunning performance.

Abby Hampton is a superb Juliet, revelling in the innocence of a not-yet-fourteen year old, swept up by the tidal wave of rolling emotions. Using a play on Romeo’s own words this young lady has a future 'so bright that birds might sing'

Abby Hampton gives us a Mariette who is all sweetness and light, bright as a button, and highly flirtatious. Hampton gives her character a high degree of physicality, flouncing across the stage, full of energy, and gives every reason for us to understand why Charley throws in his job to stay with the Larkins.
