DON’T SMOKE IN BED by Aurin Squire
The Finborough Theatre
“Latham’s nuanced performance builds throughout the piece, sensitively yet fearlessly confronting the awkwardness, guilt and confusion that come with acknowledging white privilege ... bold, impassioned performance” - Theatre and Performance Guide
“[They’ve] cast the play perfectly in Greg Lockett and Clare Latham. Repartee bounces back and forth, first meetings are wittily reenacted and a real sense of shared intimacy sparks from the stage ... you really root for Richard and Sheryl, thanks to the dynamic, eloquent work of Lockett and Latham, you just want more for them.” - There Ought To Be Clowns
ROMEO AND JULIET
The Faction
“Clare Latham’s impossibly cool Juliet ... Latham is particularly strong as Juliet, delivering Shakespeare’s poetry with admirable fluency. Juliet has some of the best lines in Shakespeare and Latham does justice to them beautifully. - The Stage
“There is notable work from Clare Latham as Juliet. She’s an accomplished verse speaker and naturalistic actor ... the most intimate balcony scene I've ever seen ... She handles the hysterical weeping after the banishment of Romeo movingly too.” - WhatsOnStage

DANNY AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA by John Patrick Shanley
Southwark Playhouse
“It’s almost impossible to tear your eyes away from every move this exciting young actress makes.” - British Theatre Guide
“Jonathan Chambers and Clare Latham are alluring and vulnerable. They let their defences drop like clothes peeled off in slow seduction. Surely one of the best Fringe shows of the year” - TimeOut Critics’ Choice

BLUE SURGE by Rebecca Gilman

GREEN EYES by Tennessee Williams
Defibrillator at The Grange Hotel
“But best by far is the 1970 work, Green Eyes, beautifully directed by James Hillier ... Clare Latham inhabits her role to an extraordinary degree” - The Telegraph
“Green Eyes, where two young newlyweds in New Orleans grapple with the Boy’s trauma as a Vietnam soldier - and the Girl has a secret to hide about a certain pair of ‘enormous green eyes’, and the bites and bruises on her body. It’s taut, exceptionally executed by Clare Latham and Matt Milne ... A fierce and fearless start to the night.” - WhatsOnStage
