2018 Wilde Award Nominee – Best Performance in a Shakespearean Play

“Central to this story is Prospera, and Haley has all the gravitas, stage presence and magic that this role demands. She is not the ancient that Prospero is sometimes portrayed as. Rather, she is a powerful woman in her prime who has been betrayed, but who has also been the contributor to her own problems. She is at once fearsome and sympathetic. She has a voice that echoes through the space, underlining her isolation. She declaims, she lectures, she incants. Only rarely is Prospera able to find those quiet, human moments. But when she does, Haley infuses her with a touching tenderness.“
