The cast of four, is terrific ...Helen Millar, playing his assistant Nicola, also undergoes tricky changes before the end, but they feel like credible components of her complex relationship with her employer. As she is alert to every change in the psychological weather, it feels so right that her hobby should be climbing frozen waterfalls
The Consultant - The Times, Jeremy Kingston
Geoff Church's production is also vigorously acted by a strong cast... Helen Millar as his seductive sidekick puts flesh on Fleming's argument.
The Consultant - The Guardian, Michael Billington
the impressive Millar
The Consultant - The Evening Standard, Fiona Mountford
But equally it is a credit to Weldon's balanced conception, and Helen Millar's performance, that this is not an Emma we can necessarily identify with. Millar manages all the raging, seducing, rationalising and downright madness with ease, alternatively hard-faced and positively deliquescing with rapture. She even manages to look alluring in a frock so frumpy that surely fashionista Emma would have crossed the street to avoid it.
Breakfast With Emma - The New Statesman, Gina Allum
A play with only one scene and one setting needs to have fleshed out characters to succeed and the actors in this production are perfect, overall superb acting: not once do any of the actors miss a beat. The whole experience is so effortlessly multi-layered that we can emphasis with Mme Bovary's overwrought plight while being aggravated by her callousness, see the definite gender roles and their effects without losing the individuality of the characters. Again, the brilliant but underlying sense of humour highlights the character's and the situation's absurdities, allowing for a painful honesty without disengaging the audience or cheapening the drama.
Breakfast With Emma - London Festival Fringe, Tobias Chapple
Millar plays Emma very well, conveying her aspirations and desires with desperate vitality and infusing her fanciful nature with a sense of conviction that cannot fail to provoke sympathy.
Breakfast With Emma - The Londonist
Helen Millar’s Emma comes into her own when fantasising about dying a beautiful death as a martyr. The cast of five deliver a host of passionate and sensitive performances. Everything about this production is of the highest calibre.
Breakfast With Emma - A Younger Theatre, Julia Rank
The cast is excellent. Helen Millar is perfect as the beautiful, charming and romantic Emma and James Burton gives an equally brilliant performance.
Breakfast With Emma - UK Theatre Network, Carolin Kopplin
Helen Millar’s Lady Macbeth was alluring enough to believe that dear hubby could never resist her scheming machinations, which were soon leading the terrible twosome into far deeper trouble than their vaunting ambition and guilty conscience could cope with.
Macbeth - Amelia's Magazine, Amelia Gregory
Lady Macbeth was played convincingly by a waif-like and fragile Helen Millar, her portrayal was especially heart-breaking in the sleepwalking scene.
Macbeth - Sardines Magazine Jane Lobb
He (Macbeth) is well supported by the Lady Macbeth of Helen Millar. She’s as much a plotting villain as him and such is her playing that she attracts deservedly rapt attention.
Macbeth - The Stage, James Green
Behind every great man is a woman and Helen Millar’s portrayal of Lady Macbeth as a calculated stateswoman, driven insane by paranoia and guilt, is chilling and disturbing.
Macbeth - News Shopper, Matthew Jenkin
A special mention to Helen Millar for her chilling portrayal of Lady Macbeth.
Macbeth -Afridiziak Theatre News, Sophia A Jackson
Landing somewhere between Eva Peron and Eva Braun, Helen Millar also gives a good performance as a calm and determined Lady Macbeth. She is neither cold nor terrifying but measured and practical throughout, a portrayal that ensures that her blood curdling scream in the sleepwalking scene is even more chilling when it arrives.
Macbeth -Remote Goat,James Fritz
It is Millar's performance, however, which rises from the good to the sublime. She grabs your attention and while she is on stage you cannot look away. As her character wastes away she makes you believe it -- six months of emaciation in 90 minutes -- and her bold, in your face depiction of a destructive young woman seeking power over her own life puts me in mind of the stellar performance of Katrin Cartlidge in Mike Leigh's Career Girls. But she is possessed of an intensity far greater than Cartlidge ever achieved in her short career. I'm made to think of a young Jodi Foster, both by the virtuosity of her performance and her visage.
Thin Toes - Fortunes Pawn, Tamara Gausi
Millar is captivating as a girl who uses anorexia to exact control over her otherwise chaotic life.
Thin Toes - Time Out
The acting is excellent: Helen Millar's stroppy Andrea contrasts perfectly with Elizabeth Bichard's naive and needy Lucy, while Camilla Simson's Meg is a convincing mix of aggression and failure.
Thin Toes - The Stage, Aleks Sierz
Of the cast, Helen Millar stands out as Natasha, an ex-model with a troubled family background and severe psychological problems. While Millar is restricted by the nature of her role, she gives a persuasive portrayal of a damaged young woman who longs for friendship and attention yet fears intimacy on any level.
The Brink - Film International, Daniel O'Brien
Ellie Dunn, the young woman who symbolises the modernity Shaw prefers (played with great composure by Helen Millar, always sensible but never a prig)
Heartbreak House - The Times, Robert Dawson Scott
Helen Millar is an icily brilliant Ellie, a fine specimen of youthful beauty frozen by disappointment in love into a hard-edged force of nature, bent on self-preservation.
Heartbreak House - The Scotsman, Joyce McMillan
And equally impressive was Helen Millar as Ellie, evolving from heart-broken naivete to a woman on a mission.
Heartbreak House - The Stage, Peter Cargill
Ellie Dunn is well captured by Helen Millar as she peels off the layers of this complex character
Heartbreak House -Perthshire Advertiser, Alison Anderson
Helen Millar is delightful as the young Thomasina, wise beyond her years and a very good match for Septimus.
Arcadia - The Comment, Kathleen Ried
Helen Millar has an almost ethereal charm in the role.
Arcadia - The Courier, Joy Watters
Helen Millar sparkles as Amina, a figure of lust who isn't as innocent as she might seem. Millar embodies the male fantasy world with a deftness of touch that is delightful to watch.
