* * * * The Guardian: "The play carries devastating and seismic power...something new, exciting, and dangerous. Latham’s performance is utterly arresting. She holds us breathless."
* * * * The Times: "An indelible portrait of an indestructible lost soul. An extraordinary, phantasmagorical monologue beautifully delivered by American actress Clare Latham."
* * * * * BroadwayWorld: "Landmark theatre. Catching this theatrical lightning in a bottle is American actress, Clare Latham. A performance of the highest order...Latham's appreciation of the rhythms of Maxine's speech, of her understanding of power, of her fearlessness in sex and violence is extraordinary. Anyone hoping for an acting award for which Latham is eligible can give up right now."
* * * * London Theatre Reviews: "No wonder Ché Walker persuaded Latham to come across the pond to join this production; she is sensational...made it look easy...effortlessly moved between characters with pacing and delivery that is exquisite - truly a masterclass."

OFF WEST END AWARD NOMINATION: BEST FEMALE PERFORMER
“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
LONDON
“Latham's low, sultry stare makes it hard to take your eyes off her as she sits on her bar stool looking directly out into the audience. She pitches the angry young broad perfectly”
- * * * * The Telegraph
"Latham, in particular, impresses. Her Roberta is funny and seductive - and terribly troubled - and melts girlishly as Danny asks her to repeat her name just so he can watch those flower-like lips."
- * * * * Exeunt Magazine
“The production is elevated by a performance of radiance and grace from Clare Latham.” - The Stage
“Spot-on Clare Latham ... painfully sincere and sweet natured.” - * * * * The Independent
"Clare Latham, impressive" - Evening Standard

ROMEO & JULIET
ROMEO & JULIET
“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.”

"It's taut, exceptionally executed by Clare Latham and Matt Milne...fierce and fearless"
- * * * * * WhatsOnStage
“…tragedy and comedy walk on a knife-edge, a classic Tennessee Williams textual trait. The cast is absolutely up to this challenge, and play the knife-edge beautifully. This is where the piece gains its weight, its satisfaction: characters and relationships are confrontationally real”
- A Younger Theatre
“Best by far is the 1970 work, Green Eyes...Clare Latham inhabits her role to an extraordinary degree"
- * * * * The Telegraph

“...the payoff is exciting, in an Aaron Sorkin meets Michael Lewis way...90 minutes of ticktock action, forwarded in snappy dialogue between Maneesh and two colleagues — one principled (Clare Latham) and one not (Jake Berne) — has the feel of a well-paced television procedural.”

“…the stand-out performance comes from Clare Latham as the Midwestern prostitute Sandy who enters into a complex relationship with local cop Curt played by James Hillier. Latham’s portrayal is wonderfully subtle and genuine and there are moments created between her and Hillier that leave the audience in utter silence and suspense.”
- Olivier & Drama Desk Award-winning director Rebecca Frecknall, The Good Review
“Like Clare Latham, who plays her, Sandy is evidently an accomplished actress.”
“Latham’s edgily thoughtful playing is lovely to watch, graced with quiet smiles that catch
the heart.”

MY NAME IS RACHEL CORRIE
"Latham’s acting is emotionally driven and convincing, presenting a down-to-earth and human rendition of Corrie. The more Corrie experiences, the more Latham’s demeanor matures...a sensitive and emotional glimpse into the bubbly activist’s personality."
- The Daily Star, Lebanon

“An electrifying performance..Latham is a truly organic actress, natural and compelling on stage. If I had seen this production just one week earlier she would definitely have made my top 5 inspirational women during International Women’s Day”
“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.
