Lucy Fenton

Feedback is important to me as it helps me to improve as an actor. It also gives future collaborators an idea of what it is like to work with me. Below, I’ve put a couple of the testimonials I’ve been given by Directors I’ve worked with recently.

Lucy played two very different parts in The Tragedy of Mariam – Alexandra, Mariam’s haughty mother, all ice-cube vowels and rod-straight back, and Herod’s first, repudiated wife, Doris, whose bitterness and jealousy pervert her into someone cruel enough to pour curses over her condemned rival’s head. Lucy brought intense, focused dedication to finding both roles, making meticulous movement notes and ensuring that her body conveyed stiff, proud age as Alexandra and a willowy, malevolent despair as Doris. She asked intelligent and well-informed questions and processed the responses instantly, making her a pleasure to work with. Lucy’s warmth and good humour also made her a favourite with the rest of the cast.

Lucy was a pleasure to work with. She was professional and punctual and meticulous in her preparation. She was fully on top of her script by our rehearsal and was able to provide accurate and confident delivery in all takes of the actual film without fuss. As a director who likes to have a lot of backup shots, I found Lucy to be tolerant of many retakes and her enthusiasm and good humour remained throughout filming.  Lucy was happy to bring her own characterisation to the role of Caroline, but was also easy to direct whenever I wanted something else. She brought a relaxed positivity to the set and was proactive in helping a budget production along – bringing a good selection of clothes after discussing how the character would dress, and also providing props that suited the character. She breathed life into the role of Caroline with an easy naturalism and I was very pleased with her performance.  I was delighted to have had Lucy both on set as well as in the film.
