Huis Clos (No Exit) run at The Rosemary Branch 2014
'...as the play develops, we realise more and more that Black has pitched this perfectly, and Estelle’s void of integrity becomes as powerful a tool as Garcin’s strength or Inès’ bile.The actors work brilliantly together as a trio, and are able to maintain an ever-growing level of intensity without once letting the energy drop. There is real bravery, complicity and trust between them, and their individual performances benefit hugely as a result.' (What's Peen Seen)
'Eloise Black's Estelle is superb and provides the dramatic glue as the piece reaches a crescendo...Black steadily ups the ante as she uses her sexuality to seduce and repel, swinging between childlike sadness and petulance to spiteful one-upmanship. As she ratches up the tension, the piece starts to gel.' (Monkey Matters Theatre Reviews)
Huis Clos (No Exit) run at the White Rabbit
'Eloise Black excels by somehow evoking sympathy for a character that a less capable actor would make easy to despise. She shows how Estelle's haughtiness betrays her sense of vulnerability, while her sensuality is laced with spite.' (One Stop Arts)
'She frequently brings the laughs, but the character is just as capable of horrifying.' (View from the God's)
'The dynamic between the three main actors – George Collie as the delusional Garcin, Charly Flyte as the psychotic Ines, Eloise Black as the greedy Society-girl Estelle – is superb, and the trio handle the shifts in tone and relationship expertly.' (The Public Reviews)
The Garden (Of Guilt and Grief)
'Eloise Black is wonderful as Celestina. She's smoldering and turbulent and captures the artist's emotional palette perfectly.' (Rogue Cinema)
'Eloise Black as Celestina and Jess Collins as Victoria are very impressive. Authentic and absorbing, they have their audience's eyes fixed on them whenever they appear. Silky smooth in their performances, they are beautifully ruthless and come across almost apologetic in their lack of sympathy.' (Unsung Films)
'Eloise Black keeps you glued to the screen and the tumultuous relationship with Simeon drives the emotional punch the film has.' (Strangers in a Cinema)|
Reviews, Quotes and Nice Things People Have Said...
"Eloise was a pleasure to work with giving the project 110%; her screen presence is palpable giving the other leads heaps of material to work with on every take, which was especially important given the stringent time contraints of the shoot. Eloise has a unique look which I feel was especially suited to the period drama- really bringing the Art Team's work to life. Highly recommended."
Tom Van den Broek, Director of Of Guilt and Grief. August, 2011
"Eloise is one of the most versatile and talented actors I have had the pleasure of working with. Her performance is so intuitive and natural that it's hard to call cut when the camera is on her."
Mark Triller, Director of True Love. November, 2011

What Casting Directors have said...
"Eloise held herself excellently in the casting and I was very impressed with her natural ability, she demonstrated her ability to listen and then applied quickly what was said to her."
Rory Hannah, Casting Director. August, 2011
'Her performance is so intuitive and natural'
'The Tales of Malik-Mammed' run at The Chelsea Theate, March 2015
'...Exceptional physical comedy performances will have even the most discerning of children rolling in the aisles. Numerous costume changes, in which the cast appear from behind the curtain in increasingly disheveled states of dress, are a repeated joke that just seems to increase in hilarity. Grown adults squeezing into baskets and tumbling about onstage provide the sort of laugh-out-loud moments reminiscent of Patricia Routledge circa Keeping Up Appearances. The expectedly earnest hero, played by Sam Watson, is beset perfectly between the buffoonery of George Collie and Eloise Black, who play not only his brothers but also a Shah, a tailor and a phoenix, to name but a few.' http://www.theupcoming.co.uk/2015/03/10/the-tales-of-malik-mammed-at-chelsea-theatre-theatre-review/
