THE WILD GOOSE CHASE -Edinburgh Fringe 2009
"Catherine was extremely committed to the production, travelling a long distance to rehearsals, and even a bout of swine flu did not prevent her from giving an outstanding performance. The transformation of the character over the course of the play was remarkable to behold, and it seems she can play everything from naive young girl via near-death madness to eye-popping vamp with aplomb. It was a pleasure to see the vague ideas I had blossom in her hands to a fully fleshed out character, who broke my heart every day. I hope to get to work with her again.".
-David Brown (Director)

BRING TRADITION BACK TO BRITAIN
"Catherine was a joy to work with - she is punctual, committed and flexible, both following direction well and giving valuable input. Her British RP accent was spot-on for the 1950s traditional British housewife she played, as was her posture. I was very impressed with the level of experience and professionalism that Catherine brought to the shoot, and I feel that she would be an asset to any production".
-Vicky Ward (Writer/Director/Producer)

IRIS
"As a person Catherine is good-natured and easy to get along with. As an actress she demonstrated enthusiasm and commitment, versatility, a solid work ethos and above all else a real gift for naturalistic acting that really brought her character to life. I strongly believe that this is only a fraction of what she is capable of. She was a credit to the production; a delight to work with and I would cast her again in the future without any hesitation"
-David Thorne (Directer/Writer)

THE THIRD WOMAN
"Catherine Adams is what I would call a real professional. She acted impeccably in a difficult part film part, reacting to invisible green screen elements two days after breaking her arm. You wouldn't know from the excellent results that she was in agony throughout her perfomances! What a trooper."
Martin Rieser (Producer/Writer)

CAGE VIRAL
"What can I say about this young actress, except, that her dedication and commitment to the project goes above and beyond our expectations. Its was a pleasure working with Catherine and we hope to work with her again."
-Brian Hassan (Producer)

JUST BLING
"Catherine Adams has the dedication, passion and above all talent to be one of the top actors in the country. She has a certain X factor that most successful actors exude but without the attitude. She put 110% into our production and definitely had one of the standout performances."
-Sonia Godding (Producer/Editor), Samona Naomi Williams(Writer/Producer/Director)

THE LAST STRAW
"The moment I met Catherine Adams I knew I had found my leading lady to play Annie for my latest film. She was great to work with. She takes direction well and always puts 100% into every scene. She brought the character alive on screen in her own way, which fitted perfectly into the rest of the production, it made my job as a director that much easier. She also helped in post production. I would work with Catherin again any time."
-James McDonnell (Director)

NEC PLUS ULTRA
"Catherine Adams is a hard-working, talented and conscientious actor. She is reliable and fun to be with on set. She also took an interest in post-production work for the film."
-Doug Hewett - Directer


IRONMAN; THE OFFICIAL STORY
"Catherine is a talented and reliable actress with a professional approach. She is easy to work with and brought a great deal to two of my projects, a short film called 'No Alibi' and a documentary called 'Ironman: The Official Story.' "
-David Studwell - Director/Writer

NEW MAN
"Catherine was good to work with - coming on at the last minute and helped save a quick short I was working on. Thanks!"
-Jonathon Dupont (Director)

MOVING FORWARD
"The production was a sitcom set in a health club. Our first meeting was over a plate of carbonara, with one of the other actors and she was a great laugh. By the time we actually got round to doing a read-through, I had already, in my mind, given her the part. The actual shoot was pretty tough; we had to cram it all in one weekend and Catherine did not complain once. In fact, she was a constant source of amusement, which is good on a sitcom.
She grasped the character straight away and responded well to both artistic and technical direction and was most certainly a dedicated pro; she's completely prepared to take a hit/slap for the team!
I would work with Catherine again in a heartbeat."
-Benjamin Green (Producer) Green Bee Productions

KIDS KINGDOM
We worked with Catherine Adams on Kids' Kingdom, a programme aimed at children between the ages of 3 and 5. It was a very enjoyable experience.
She transformed Hazel, a squirrel puppet, into a living character so convincingly that we sometimes found ourselves giving directions directly to Hazel.
At the audition Catherine offered us many different options for voices for Hazel and eventually we decided on a fantastic cartoony voice that sounded almost non-human!
Despite having to put up with high temperatures and tight spaces on the set, Catherine was very patient and hit her cues every time.
It was a pleasure working with Catherine because of her artistic ability and her professional responsibility. Thank you Catherine for bringing Hazel alive! "
- Eva Sigurdardottir (Director) and Denisa Polesna (Producer)

RUBICON
"Catherine's role in Rubicon was surely one of most complex characters of the film. She asked a few very precise questions in our first meetings and at the rehearsal she got it right immediately. During the shooting, she proved that she has a presence and a sense of timing. Walking in painful high heels, wearing a tight corset and cracking the whip were surely not her favourite things to do, but she did it very professionally and the result is great. Many thanks Catherine."
- Frank Drewello ( Crystal Films)

NO PLACE LIKE HOME
"Catherine is a highly motivated and competent actress. Bringing creativity, initiative and hard work to a project, she is an invaluable resource to any director.
When working on No Place Like Home Catherine dealt with a large amount of text, requiring the development of six very different characters all speaking in different accents. She responded to the challenge by bringing Sheila, Mallory, Thelma, Lula, Louise and Bonnie to life on stage and screen.
The production would not have been the same without her."
- Mari Hesjedal (MAaH Productions)

WHAT IF YOU SLEPT?
Catherine Adams was joy to work with; technically precise whilst also an extremely skilled comic actress.
I look forward to working with her again in the future"
-Alice Kahrmann, Auroralight Productions"

NO ALIBI
"Catherine is extremely easy and fun to work with. She brings charisma to a role, as well as adding her own personal unique style.Short but sweet." - David Studwell (Writer)

  Tom Morton (Director):
"In many ways, Catherine was a godsend. From the moment she came on board, she made the part of the secretary her own, transforming what might otherwise have been a very one dimensional caricature into a fully fledged human being. But quite aside from her acting ability -of which there can be no doubt, Catherine was an absolute pleasure to have on set, attentive when I needed her to be, and game for a laugh when we needed that instead: she made it very easy for me to trust her. I would leap at the chance to work with her again, and so should any other directors."

  Adrian Palmer (Actor):
"I was in 'No Alibi' with Catherine Adams in Spring 2004. She immediately made a very powerful impression on set with her striking good looks and tight business suit. She acted the part of the secretary with great personality and touches of well considered humour. She reminded me strongly of those old black and white films when the frumpy personal assistant takes off her glasses and lets her hair down while fluttering her eyelashes seductively over the rim o on screen a great deal longer as I would say Catherine is talented enough and dedicated enough to tackle a major role in a major feature. If I'm lucky that feature will be one we are making together."

SLIP STREAM
When casting the role of Sarah the 'would be' reporter/journalist wasn't an especially well formed part. Added to that we had very little time to audition numerous ladies. 'Ren' was the first to turn up for the job in a cast get together in a pub in Ealing. On meeting her, we knew we didn't need to see anyone else. She managed to put the character firmly on the map, in terms of being more than a supporting role and would be an obvious choice for just about any 18-30 female role. Her camera sense is excellent and timing, especially for comic effect, very accompished."
-Mark Cottington (Script Writer)

LAST CHANCE TO SEE
"Catherine Adams is both fun to work with and professional at the same time. She brought a lot to the part of Michelle in 'Last Chance to See' and I would highley recommend her to anyone."
-Tim Bishop (Writer/Director)

Simon Bayford Lighting (Lovefool) + Stills Photographer:
"Catherine is a true Professional. Brilliant performance, she shows great enthusiasm for the work she does and was a pleasure to work with. I would love to work with her again."
-Simon Bayford Lighting (Lovefool) + Stills Photographer:


IDENTITY SWAP
"Catherine is a truly talented and morphic actor. Not only does she possess a unique beauty that magnetises the screen and viewer but her ability to don character after character, voice after voice, type after type defies description. With minimal information she intuitively grasps the nature of a piece or role and immediately delivers. A sharp and witty mind, a body of applied cultural knowledge and a physical aesthetic that touches the hardest of hearts are at Catherine's disposal. Truly unique.
-David Ian (Writer & Director)"

FREAK WEATHER CONDITIONS
"Catherine Adams is an excellent and versatile actress. her gift for the dramatic is only surpassed by her comic timing. Having directed her in a number of comedy shows where she took on a vast array of different characters I can say she is a reliable,professional and very funny actress and I look forward to working with her again."
Elliot Stewart (Director):


DEAD GIRLS OF LONDON
"I offered Catherine Adams the part of the Clare in Dead Girls of London for several reasons. The main one being she was very real. She played the naive and very trusting young lady, and still managed to keep the audience on her side and care about her.
At first Clare is flattered that young handsome Christian pays her any attention, only to gradually realise he is evil and dangerous. Catherine gave her changes of mood subtly and convincingly; from being blindly in love all the way to being fearful for her life. We feel Clare's vulnerability and helplessness. Catherine as Clare managed to have her at first being sedately and quietly dressed, and then under Christian's influence change, gaining confidence and dressing sexily and seductively. Catherine is able to sort of turn on a "switch" and look extraordinary beautiful. The other main reason I am glad I offered Catherine the part of Clare is that she added something special to the part coming up with suggestions when asked, to make the drama even more powerful and real.
I have also worked with Catherine as a script editor, and found hr attention to detail very useful, asking questions and making observations that would not have occurred to me. If asked to quickly sum up Catherine Adams I would say: "unique, able to subtlety change her mood very quickly [...] very attractive, professional, an excellent actress.
I strongly recommend Catherine both as an actress and as a script editor, supervisor, etc.
Yours sincerely
John Martin"

WE GIVE YOU...
"Catherine brings a level of experience and intelligence to her performance that allows - nay, prompts you - as a director to trust her with your work. She can't hold her liquor to save her life, but that just makes her more endearing as a person."
- Marcus E Ako (Director-Escalate Experience Productions)
