Brilliant Traces"Both leads are fantastic, each committing the energy and intensity the play requires with excellent chemistry and variety of pace and tone. The play is peppered with numerous monologues and emotional set pieces, which ask a lot of them, but on every occasion, they are more than equal to it... Fringe at its brilliant best!" - The Reviews Hub (****)

"Michael Feldsher as Henry Harry and Sam Kamras as Rosannah give their all in this powerful drama. In forceful performances, they portray people lost in life... The strength of acting of both parts is stunning. The two of them hold the stage completely with very little support except the projection of the tightly-scripted words and the force of their acting." - Plays To See (****)
"The playing of both Sam Kamras and Michael Feldsher is spot on. Kamras is on fine form as Rosannah who begins the play with a belting ten minute monologue in which she barely pauses for breath. Still dressed in her wedding outfit she cuts a deeply unstable figure with her talk of out of body experiences and her stubborn refusal to consider what her actions have meant to the people she has left behind...Punctuating the angst there are several moments of humour which break through... Kamras and Feldsher from a devastating partnership." - 2nd From Bottom

“Angel Theatre Company do the Master of Minimalism proud"
"Ms. Kamras made "Not I" incantatory... a ferociously hard acting challenge, and she absolutely nailed it." -London Pub Theatres (****) |
Not I"There is food for thought in these brief, nuanced and assured performances."
- London Theatre 1 (****) |
"Samantha Kamras, scarlet of lips, Colgate white of teeth, assails us with the torrent of words, pausing (as Beckett demands) and then careering forwards, tempo, pitch, volume never constant. Extraordinary stuff!"
"A frenetic, captivating hour of stranged words and striking images." -Broadway World (****) |
Play & Footfalls
"When Samantha Kamras’s W2, the mistress, lets loose a gaping cackle, the abrupt flash of red-pink tongue and palate is like a slab of raw meat thrown on a weathered tombstone, a flash of the quick among the dead. In fact, Kamras... seemed to be channelling more than a little of Lisa Dwan and perhaps also Billie Whitelaw in the way she stretched her lips back to reveal her teeth and gums in bestial animosity. Her W2 had a kind of brittle mania that made me hope we’ll see her as Mouth in Not I one day."
-Andy Wimbush of University of Cambridge
"The skill the players – Rose Trustman, Ricky Zalman and Samantha Kamras – display as they cope with the language is formidable...
It is, because of Beckett’s use of language and the quality of this particular production, an evening to relish, to risk attending. I really do not want to wait for Godot one more time but I could sit through these two pieces again any time." - ReviewsGate (****)
"Both of these plays place considerable demands on the actors, and all the cast here rise to their various challenges with great poise and deft efficiency.
In Play, Rose Trustman, Ricky Zalman and Samantha Kamras have to deliver rapid-fire utterances synchronised with the inquisitive light shining on them - and they do so with spot on timing." - ActDrop (****)
"Samantha Kamras portrays Woman 2 with a calm confidence, increasingly losing her poise when the light is on her and asking if she is not becoming ‘unhinged’." - Spy in the Stalls (*****)
"It is immersive thought- provoking theatre, superbly directed by Patterson and well acted by a vibrant cast." - Close-Up Culture (****)
"In all a really tight, superbly acted double bill designed not just to entertain but to provoke and make you think.
The intensity and crisp diction from Rose Trustman, Ricky Zalman and Samantha Kamras make for a compelling piece and their timing is immaculate." -London Pub Theatres (****)

"Kamras gives a strong performance, showing the inner strength that Mary has, the fight in her and her family values. I really warmed to her and would have loved to have seen more scenes with her in them." - London Theatre 1

The Resurrectionist"Samantha Kamras makes an indelible impression as Mary Shelley. It helps that she looks fragile and as if she stepped out of the 19th century but the actress beguiles us with sudden flashes of temper and in the best scene of the play, in her repressed emotion." - Remote Goat

"Mary Shelley (Samantha Kamras) ... makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end during these memorable openings featuring her and Lord Byron (Tristan Rogers) ... It has to be said, the acting is first class and has both so fully engaged in characterisation you’ll feel genuinely scared listening in on this starkly lit environment." - What's Hot London

Liliom
"There’s some extraordinary puppetry (yes, puppetry!) from Samantha Kamras as Marie, who doubles up through the said puppet as her husband, Wolf Beifeld... It may initially come across as something out of Avenue Q, but once the initial titters from the audience die down, Kamras’ delivery of both husband and wife’s lines are a pleasure to hear and see." - London Theatre 1
"Samantha Kamras’ Marie brings an excitable and giggly presence with flashes of comic relief from her beloved puppet on hand (who is her husband…err…don’t ask)." - Hello Emma Kay

"...actors Tom Everatt and Sam Kamras approach their roles with great sensitivity, as well as considerable precision." - FringeGuru

"Sam Kamras as Jess perfectly captures the obstinacy and rebellion of youth, that seething resentment of someone who thinks she knows what’s best without much actual life experience." - Mooney on Theatre

"Ryan O'Toole and Sam Kamras share a relationship that's worthy of the big screen." - The Aquinian
That Cowboy Kid |
"When I was 12, I was part of the group of kids that was determined to make a movie and submit it to a film festival. That dream fell flat when we realized that yes, we can hit record and act in front of a camera, but then what?" - The Aquinian

"Looking back now, thank God I auditioned. Thank God I just got the guts and went for it because things would be very, very different if I didn't have that." - The Aquinian
