“Ben Noble, who plays Corey in this one man show, delivers a brilliant, raw performance with his gut-wrenching script. He evokes a broad range of characters, many of them recognisable as archetypes and deftly held back from becoming stereotypes.”
— Foyer Talk (MEMBER)
“Ben Noble plays a multitude of characters in MEMBER and he does so brilliantly. The women are as detailed as the men, the haters have intelligent interpretation not just surface aggression and each person is finely delineated.
The physical shift between characters can be slight: a facial expression pulled by a teeth grind or a hands held stiffly at the sides mannerism, however the voice is where Noble’s skill really shines. It’s not just pitch, Noble utilises all the elements of speech.
Noble incorporates a speed change, a personalised rhythm or tone colour and for one of the women, a slight stuttering way of expressing herself. ”

“Noble’s writing is punchy, poetic and descriptive and it is woven into a tight, one-hour piece that barrels along leaving me feeling almost winded as it ends.”
