Some Nice Reviews

"Christopher Loscher's production, using Michael Bullock's translation, also drives the action forwards, and gets sparky performances from Neil Sheppeck as the axe-wielding prosecutor, Evelyn Adams as a series of dream-females and Barra Collins as an eccentric clairvoyant."

From The Guardian's (Michael Billington) 4STAR review of review of Count Oederland, The White Bear 2011.

“This serious dynamic was played out on a larger scale at the start of the play, complemented by Barra Collins's excellent Horatio, a well-spoken and evocative performance that left one with a genuine sense of loss after his murder.”

From the Bardathons review of The Spanish Tragedy, The Rose Theatre 2010.

"Barra Collins, as the likeable young lad who gets pulled into Stud's dangerous world, gives an attractive and moving performance...Strangely for a monologue-heavy play, though, it's the way the actors work together that really stands out. Collins and Pucci, in particular, have clearly developed a deep rapport."

From Remote Goat's 4STAR review of Manor, Tristan Bates Theatre, 2010.

"Meanwhile, the rest of the ensemble ably supported with lovely harmonies and nice comic nuances, eliciting a vocal standout from Barra Collins (Sully O'Hara) and a comic one from the brilliant Jamie Honeybourne (Ernie Lally)."

From Broadway World's 4STAR review of A Man of No Importance, Arts Theatre West End 2010.

"Collins excels in his portrayal. With his... hilarious range of voices and brilliant comic timing, he had the audience eating out of his hand within minutes. He has the ability to both play the clown and tug on the audience's heartstrings, and the ease at which he slips between the two is effortless."
