2024 was a stand out year for our client Leanne Bickerdike. Who has been described by The Arts Reviewer Chris O Rourke, as a stand out performer of 2024. Describing Leanne’s performance in HATE F%#K as;
“Showing more natural talent in the joints of her little finger than many a seasoned veteran. Bickerdike oozing presence, skill, and charisma in abundance, producing an irresistible performance“
Reflecting on Irish theatre in 2024 O Rourke writes;
One thing’s for sure, you wonder what the future of theatre looks like? All you can know for certain is that emerging artists like Eavan Gaffney, Pattie Maguire, Ultan Pringle and Leanne Bickerdike. Can still send your pulse racing, only to induce a stillness in which you don’t want to move, speak or breath. Theatre still has the power to take your breath away. It doesn’t happen enough, but when it does, nothing compares to it.“
