Reviews for Hamlet, Below the Salt, 2019
“English’s confused anguish as Laertes upon returning to Denmark and finding his father killed and his sister descended into madness is especially poignant. “ - The Way I See It
Reviews for Shakespeare in Love, Neptune Theatre 2018
“Sarah English is sensational as Viola—her adoration for Will’s poetic prowess and dream to break free from her predetermined, misogynist environment is both nuanced and inspiring. English and MacDonald are a perfect couplet (sorry not sorry) and their chemistry radiates off the stage.” - The Coast
“Similarly, English’s Viola lives beautifully on the margins of what is acceptable for a woman in the late 16th Century. She exhibits agency, drive, bravery, ingenuity and confidence in her opinions and ability, and yet also retreats seamlessly into grace, poise and a sense of modesty when it is needed for self preservation. In “Thomas Kent” English’s Viola is given the freedom to move beyond these margins and English gives a very nuanced meta-theatrical performance of how her character adapts to the new rules afforded to her as “Thomas Kent.” - The Way I See It
“…the relationship that Stackhouse and English create is one of the most beautiful in the play. …”
Reviews for How Do I Love Thee?, Angels and Heroes, 2016
"Thanks to the author's new look at this classic love story, Sarah English has the opportunity to take Elizabeth Barrett Browning far beyond what most of us might remember from the Barretts of Wimpole Street. She seizes that opportunity with all her talent and delivers a fierce, loving, ecstatic portrayal of genius. I've always known her to be a gifted actor, now I see much more, not least a potential for greatness." - Hugo Dann
Reviews of The Turn of the Screw, Two Planks and a Passion Theatre, 2015
"Particularly good as the children are Sarah English as the mysterious, angelic boy, Miles, expelled from school for no clear reason, and Andrea Lee Norwood as the enthusiastic, loving girl, Flora. Both actors give their characters the innocence of The Secret Garden children and a sinister edge of the unknown." - The Chronicle Herald
Reviews of Macbeth, WillPower Theatre, 2015
"Schwartz takes a classical, chamber-ensemble approach with a cast of five in a lean but rich production ...English’s speech as MacDuff learning of the murder of his children brings tears to the eyes ...The murkiness is perfect for some truly scary Weird Sisters (Deschepper, English and Legere), who make the supernatural feel very real." - The Chronicle Herald
Reviews for Love Notwithstanding, A Vancouver Apt Co-op, 2012
Combining the talented efforts of two established Toronto actors with a story most people can relate to at one point in their life, this production is engaging and accessible...Sarah English as Jenna, is calm, collected, controlled and candid. Natural and real, English has a lovely stage charm...Love Notwithstanding is a play about making authentic connections, making choices and sometimes having to make sacrifices.
Reviews of Romeo & Juliet, Neptune Theatre, 2010
"Sarah English [...] is a sparkling and strong-willed Juliet." - The Chronicle Herald
"Shakespeare's familiar words spring to life in the mouths of this remarkable cast. Local actress Sarah English is believable and beguiling as a passionate young teen in the throws of first love" - The Coast
