“Amber Brookes, sipping from a fancy goblet and resplendent in sparkly gowns of gold and later silky green, is delightfully serpentlike as Regan.”
— “A Time When Madmen Led The Blind” - King Lear Review 2024
“Once again Amber Brookes crushed her portrayal of multiple characters in the show. If you are able to flawlessly portray six very different characters WITH different accents and personalities, you are the definition of an artist!”
“Amber asked if I would audition and I have been waiting to work with her in some capacity. she’s a very talented actor and I know she’d make a great director.”
“Amber Brookes (Ophelia) is a leading lady in the making; in the near term, Beatrice and Kate, later Lady Macbeth, Clytemnestra, and Medea. With clarion vocal tone and imposing stage presence, her future in classical drama, should she continue in that direction, appears to be assured.”
“Ms. Brookes will be sharing her talents to the merriment of audiences all around.”
