Acting

OUR LADY OF KIBEHO (Theatre Royal Stratford East)

The Acting is top notch, particularly... Michelle Asante as Sister Evangelique. - ★★★★★, The Times

Michelle Asante - a gem of a performance. - The Arts Desk

★★★★★, The Guardian

FAMILY TREE (Greenwich & Dockland International Festival)

Michelle Asante is captivating. - ★★★★★, To Do List London

Michelle Asante boldly emulates Hacks’ legend. The show’s anchor, she honours Adebayo’s epic script. - Theatre Full Stop

NOTES ON GRIEF (Exchange Auditorium, Manchester Central)

Michelle Asante powerfully delivers what is essentially a ninety-minute soliloquy - Tribe Arts

Michelle Asante, who performs the narrator role, is confident and authoritative; an assured presence, she holds the stage with ease.- Writers Mosaic

Executed superbly by Asante, the play takes us through the complexes of dealing with the grief and the layers of loss and the beautiful memories Adichie had with her father. - Alt- Africa

VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE (Theatre Royal Bath & Charing Cross Theatre)

Michelle Asante has fun imbuing the somewhat archetypal character of Cassandra with larger-than-life foreboding - British Theatre Guide

There is a wacky cleaner, Cassandra, full of dire warnings. Michelle Asante plays her at such a bright pitch. - The Times

Wacky and ingenious - ★★★★, The Stage

SUNSET BABY (The Gate Theatre)

Its Asante's firecracker performance- deftly switching between fury and vulnerability-that powers Charlotte Westenra's production - The Metro

The performances, are first-rate and highly charged, with Asante particularly good as Nina, all blazing eyes and hostility one moment and lonely vulnerability the next - Financial Times

Asante offers a bruised, sensitive performance - Time Out

It is London-born Michelle Asante, however, who steals the show. With her coarse and convincing New York accent, she is hard and tough, but allows for poignant glimpses of vulnerability to shine through. . . we feel her frustrations, her anxieties, her sheer exhaustion - The New Statesman

RUINED (Almeida Theatre)

Salima – at once cowed and bullish (a tremendous performance by Michelle Asante) – The Observer

Michelle Asante…moving and dignified as Salima - Financial Times

SOME DOGS BITE (BBC3)

They meet similarly adrift, emotionally neglected girl, mouthy Venetia (Michelle Asante, especially good) - Variety Magazine
