A Midsummer Night's Dream

Author

Nominated for 'Best Supporting Actor' - The Off West End Awards (Offies).


"Blunt gives a show-stealing, scenery-chewing turn as Bottom, balancing daft comic chops with swaggering charisma, careening between egotism and idiocy."

- The Stage

 

"Bottom as a woman? Victoria Blunt's beaming, expansive Northern lass, channelling Victoria Wood, Gracie Fields and with simply her own delightful sense of fun, make it hard for me to imagine a male Bottom now."

- Whatsonstage 

"This must be one of the best Bottoms ever seen. In what will go down in history as one of the truly great Shakespeare performances, Blunt finds comedy in every single line and action. Her weaver is a bluff and cheerful Northerner, childlike and cheerful, foolish and charismatic. There are some lovely moments where the fellow mechanicals gaze at her in wonder, enchanted by her daft artistry."

- The Spy In The Stalls

"The Rude Mechanicals are a true delight - providing the perfect vehicle to support the fabulous Victoria Blunt as Bottom. Unashamedly scene-stealing, Blunt's pitch-perfect performance is a comedic joy to behold."

- Broadway World

"An utterly charming Bottom who maximises the character’s arrogance and ego whilst also maintaining great enthusiasm and a likeability factor. Blunt winks, jests and dances delivering laughter lines aplenty as well as throwing in some perfectly practised asides."

- British Theatre Guide


"Never have I seen Bottom played with the exuberance, charisma and energy that Blunt brings to the role. She is variously gleeful, shy, sad, silly, sardonic, wondrous, knowing, rueful, childlike, sexy and she has fun with every single word.  It’s a marvellous performance and I suspect I shall judge every Bottom I see in the future against it."

- Sardines Journal

"Leading the rude mechanicals, Blunt was outstanding as Bottom - a true tour de force performance, bubbling with energy and buffoonery."

- Newbury Today

"Victoria Blunt’s fiercely funny Bottom is an equally bracing breath of fresh air that reveals an effortless gift for comedy"

- Ought to be clowns
