Here’s what people who have worked with Maxine have to say:

“Maxine is a patient, enthusiastic, inspiring and encouraging facilitator, who really helps you get the best out of your work and yourself. I love working with Maxine and am always inspired seeing her work with others” – Leela Bunce – Professional Actor.

“Maxine has been a huge inspiration to my son helping him gain great confidence vocally, physically and to develop his imagination. He attends both group and one to one drama sessions with her. Maxine has a natural, friendly manner making her very approachable and she really knows how to bring the best out of her students. Her sessions are also great fun and super engaging!”- Saffron – Professional Actor & Drama Mum.

“I've acted in several of Maxine's productions, and really appreciate the time and trouble - and experience - that she puts into helping people to develop their skills. When she worked with me on a difficult Shakespeare scene, it was an exciting one-to-one masterclass. Invaluable! And great fun.” – Pat Mead – Local performer.

I love being directed by Maxine. Working with her on a piece of theatre is always fun, exciting and rewarding, whether it be contemporary, Shakespeare or something devised for the community. Through her knowledge, encouragement and skill in communicating ideas she enables me to achieve performances I can be proud of. Maxine is a generous director, she encourages me to explore and develop my own ideas about a character, making rehearsals a truly creative process. I can’t wait to work with her again! - Sara Holt – Local performer.

I've had the pleasure to be directed by Maxine in a monologue I wrote years ago. Not only was she able to explain my text to me and show me things in it I didn't know were there, she mapped the character's emotional journal and taught me how to breath life into it at every step. As well as anything else, it was a master class in directing I will never forget. - Remy Bertrand. Improvisation Teacher with imprology.
