An awesome f-ing actor... and I don’t offer that up if I don’t mean it!

“Elle works with generosity, intelligence and skill. She is open to new ways of working, always seeing the benefit of expanding her creative practice. Elle is an exemplary actress and exudes a quiet determination to explore all aspects of a creative process. Elle can stimulate enthusiasm in colleagues working with her and is able to offer strength and craft in her creative delivery.

[She is] able to respond and work so diligently and with incredible objectivity. Taking and applying notes is a skill in itself and she is always thinking of the whole and never just herself and that is an absolute necessity for a really, truly, great actor. She has a head start! I would not hesitate in working with Elle in the future — she offers positive input to a creative environment and is conscientious in all she undertakes creatively. Working with her was a pleasure — made my job very easy, very smooth.”

- Jane Arnfield U.K. Director & Professor, Head of Film/TV/Theatre, Northumbria Performing Arts/University

Superb acting and hauntingly beautiful ensemble...
— ShowScore
The reason to see The Fall is for the performances. And let me offer that it isn’t just the lead actors who are standouts. This thing needs to make Fringe invent an award, and have The Fall single-handedly take the cake, for best ‘ensemble looking interested.’ There’s some really honest listening happening up there, and some remarkably truthful and powerful actors handling these monologues. ... They’re really tremendous.

Elle just gets it. She’s talented, smart, sassy, beautiful, and has a lovely, easy way of bringing all of her awesome charisma, wit and charm to the characters she plays. I’d trust her to be a team player on set. Elle is exciting and fun to watch. She’s pretty. She’s funny. She ain’t basic. Nope. I can’t wait to see where her career takes her.
