Press Online Streamings
Press in Greece and Cyprus about the online streamings of “Every Brilliant Thing”, April 2020

“Melina Theo plays with feeling but without sentimentality. She has an energy that never flags. Without missing the poignancy of its underlying tragedy, she makes this a life-affirming, joyful experience that is very funny.”
British Theatre Guide on Every Brilliant Thing 

“This isn’t just another monologue. Though it’s performed by one sole actor. This isn’t just another interactive show. Though the audience participates actively throughout. And here I must admit that the charismatic Melina Theo has a way – a sincere politeness, a genuine generosity, a respectful directness? – that makes it impossible to refuse her request, even if you’re the least likely person to end up on stage. Watching the show is a bittersweet experience, an interaction of exceptional sensitivity, capable of bringing new audiences to the theatre.”

on Every Brilliant Thing 

“Melina Theo, who came from London specially for this show, is beyond extraordinary. Her sweet directness, her drive, her spontaneous naivety, her dignity, has graced the character with beauty and feeling, tightrope-walking between humour and gravity.” Enetpress on Every Brilliant Thing 

“The unique performer Melina Theo and the director Ioli Andreadi bring us the most delightful show of the year, a show that speaks directly to your heart.”
AlphaFreePress on Every Brilliant Thing

“Melina Theo, with her directness and armed with the text, manages to set up, with the simplest of means, an ideal communication channel with the audience. This is the only show I have ever seen in which the audience are giving hugs to the actress after the show. Don’t miss it.”
Duduka Theater on Every Brilliant Thing

“The talented Melina Theo, alone on stage, impresses with her readiness to improvise with the audience.” 
Technes-Plus on Every Brilliant Thing

“The wonderful Melina Theo manages to highlight in all her splendour the acrimonious and repressed personality of Arsinoe.”
Radio Reboot Culturίστριες on The Misanthrope 

“Melina Theo’s richly expressive performance contributes to the constantly changing emotional landscape and imagery of the show.”
CultureNow on The Misanthrope

“A performance in the grotesque style by Melina Theocharidou in the role of the lonely Arsinoe creates a new interpretation of the character, combining her ruthlessness with a more sensitive side.” Musicity on The Misanthrope
