Here is a review of one of Lucy Beth's performances: "Lucy's wonderfully expressive performance goes beyond words...Lucy smoothly shifted between moments of love, anger, and humour without ever losing rhythm. The audience laughed warmly, listened attentively, and rewarded the performance with a well-deserved standing ovation". - Review of Ma Name Is Isabelle in Post Aberdeen.
