Directing
As a Teacher and Workshop Director
  "Kirsty brings considerable experience and a hard won technical flair to her teaching. In addition she has a warm and friendly manner, quickly gaining the trust of her students, so that she is able to create, very quickly, a working atmosphere that is both playful and focused. Her undoubted understanding of the fundamentals of acting and the special challenges of Shakespeare in particular inspire further confidence…”

  “I employed Kirsty as a drama tutor/director… to work with the 11-13 year old age group… The results were shown to an audience at the end of the week I found Kirsty to be dedicated, reliable and extremely creative. I am sure she will make a positive contribution to whatever job she undertakes”

Actress
  “I chose Kirsty to play Juliet…and was struck by her commitment to the role and her intense study and understanding of the script. She was quite young at the time but her performance was so strong and passionate that she inspired the whole cast… She was a dream to direct in that she was always well prepared and would try anything…”
