AMY FLOYD
Actor specialising in intelligent, transformative characters.

"Amy Floyd has a formidable, almost frightening stage presence, inhabiting Macbeth with gravitas and political cunning that makes Machiavelli look like a pussy cat… The stage tension between Floyd and Adler was electric as they circled each other like a pair of prize fighters preparing to go the distance.  Verbally it was superb, words being spat with a vehement intensity that raised hairs on the back of the neck.  Physically, it was breathtaking, sword fighting that felt real, blood that looked it. Peerless."

"Amy Floyd’s development of Macbeth’s character arc is incredible, we can see the stark contrast of his demeanor as the show progresses. There is a genuine connection and tenderness in the performance between Floyd and King-Farlow’s Lady Macbeth. It’s a gentleness that really humanizes the couple and makes us actively root for them to succeed. (Floyd shows) incredible acting prowess, lending a lot of heart and technical skill to moments and soliloquies that are difficult to execute well."

"Amy Floyd as Macbeth does a masterful job of delineating the ill-fated Thane of Glamis’s arc from loyal vassal to murderous tyrant, and on into a side of Macbeth that is often missed: grieving husband in doubt of his own cause."

"Adler’s sword fighting scene with Amy Floyd’s Macbeth is one of the highlights of the whole show, with audience members visibly shrinking back and pulling up legs from the thrusting and whirling bodies as the contest progresses to its inevitable bloody climax. Absolutely riveting stuff!"
