‘THE MAGNETIC DIARIES’ by Sarah James
‘….brought mesmerisingly to life by Vey Straker…. served to illuminate the realities of a condition that affects so many better than any number of well-meaning documentaries. In the hands of a less talented actor, this might not have been the case, but Vey Straker caught the tone and mood perfectly to create an entirely credible Emma.’ Hereford Times
​
'The Magnetic Diaries is an inspired but disturbing tour de force... an incredible piece of work: a long poem, essentially a one woman play, a tour de force of modern times, a contemporary tragedy with one dominant, inspired yet unhappy voice....The main character, Emma, played brilliantly by Vey Straker, was the only character on stage. Worcester News
‘IRON’ by Rona Munro
‘…4Play Theatre Company, offers a powerful evening’s entertainment, with a central performance from Vey Straker that is quite brilliant… Vey is utterly convincing in the role of a woman who has created a new version of herself - until the daughter she hasn’t seen for 10 years arrives to visit her.’ Hereford Times
‘TWO’ by Jim Cartwright
‘…Vey Straker, playing not only the landlord and landlady of a northern pub, but also a cross-section of their clientele…..dexterously adopting every new character and convincing instantly.’ Hereford Times
Alison Hindell, Head of Radio Drama, BBC wrote: ‘You demonstrated a good vocal range and intelligent characterisation with a lively pace. The Glaswegian piece was particularly well thought through.’
