| "Rayyah McCaul as the wild-eyed Penthesilea gives by far the most exciting performance. Her interpretation is focused and truly outstanding." Broadway Baby (Penthesilea) |
| "Rayyah McCaul is mesmerising. I couldn't take my eyes off her and frequently found I was holding my breath watching her perform." OneStopArts (Penthesilea) |
| "The writing really allowed McCaul to show her flexibility as an actor. The two characters she takes on in the two plays couldn’t be more different, allowing McCaulʼs talent to shine." Everything Theatre (The Matchmakers/Yolk) |
| "McCaul and Whiteley particularly shine as a very believable and lovable husband and wife team on the horns of several comical and moral dilemmas." The Public Reviews (I Love...) |
