RACHEL PICKS UP RAVE REVIEWS AND IS OFF TO CANNES
What a week for Rachel Pick-up! Feature film Chronic, in which she appears
alongside Tim Roth, has been announced to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival
and she continues to receive rave reviews on stage for The Merchant of Venice.
Playing until 7th June
at The Globe Theatre, The Merchant of Venice is awash with
decadent costumes and outstanding performances. Rachel’s Portia certainly
got the critics talking, as she plays opposite Jonathan Pryce’s Shylock in the outdoor theatre’s
imagining of one of Shakespeare’s most controversial comedy dramas:
“Rachel
Pickup’s Portia is exquisitely accomplished” – Kate Kellaway, THE GUARDIAN
* * * * *
“Portia (a willowy, febrile, elegantly
expressed Rachel Pickup)” – Michael Coveney, WHATS ON
STAGE * * * *
“Rachel
Pickup presents an impressively in-control Portia, moving from haughty
dismisser of would-be suitors to cool courtroom customer to slick operator of
her own marriage” – Holly Williams, INDEPENDENT * * *
