“Gertrude (Claire O’Donovan) also brings into her character a sense of intricately developed psychology. Her scenes with Hamlet in the closet are disturbingly poignant as an unmistakable Oedipal dynamic unfolds between the mother and son.” Shakespeare in Ireland - Hamlet review
"Like the play itself, she is a character with whom an audience can relate." Irish Examiner - Wishful Thinking review
