“… polished, beautifully made series from director/producer Sally McLean … a very fine adaptation of the Bard … Shakespeare Republic is put together with grace and wit.”

“… strong performances from a cast containing many familiar faces from Australian television … engaging … insightful … if you’re in the mood for some dramatic theatre with interesting characters, inspiring stories and a feel-good, uplifting message, Chasing Pegasus provides an ultimately engaging hour of theatre.”

“This is a wonderful series, that is perfect to just dip in and out of whenever you feel the need to watch some Shakespeare. It is funny, emotional, and thought-provoking, providing a unique take on words that many would write off as irrelevant or old-fashioned.”

“Shakespeare Republic’s Speaking Daggers, was a fantastic introduction to Australian theatrical output as tool-for-education … a fabulous resource for schools.”

“… a highly engaging and, at times, confronting, night of theatre that makes a strong statement about what it is to be human. … Written and directed by Sally McLean, “Chasing Pegasus – a play in 10 chords” is an engaging, beautifully written and staged night of theatre that doesn’t disappoint.”

“… a tightly written and superbly acted piece that explored the difficulties of being a twenty-something living in London in the last throes of the 20th Century. Very similar to the Australian television series “The Secret Life of Us” (which aired here on Channel 4 in 2001), this film is funny, touching, absorbing and confronting. The relationships between the characters are raw and realistic – sometimes disturbingly so.”
