“While the eponymous character is central to the story, this is a true ensemble piece and therefore hard to single out individual performances. Perhaps the exceptions are Charmaine Sibande who arguably has the most to do as the third Emilia exhibiting controlled rage and Dana Schindel is hilarious as Susan Bertie, Emilia’s early mentor.”

– John Jane, Review Vancouver 

“In a wonderful scene, [Emilia] and some other young ladies are given ‘dance’ lessons [by Dana Schindel’s Countess Susan Bertie]. The dance they learn is to flatter men, look feminine and helpless, so as attract a husband. […] Stirring, first-rate work from United Players.”

“There’s a force blowing off the stage in director Lois Anderson’s production of Emilia. It feels like a stiff, invigorating wind. In fact, it’s a combination of confidence and fury. […] In the final image, when the players all face the audience and sing directly to us, it’s stirring. And it speaks to the greatest strength of this production: the embodiment of solidarity.”
