‘Rowan Polonski brings all the energy of a cocky upstart devoted to his craft’

Rowan is currently rehearsing Double Feature at the Hampstead Theatre, opening on 19 February.

Runs to 16 March, with Jonathan Kent directing John Logan’s new play exploring the ever murky, ever shifting power dynamics of Hollywood and the silver screen.

• Heading the cast, Rowan Polonski gives a tremendously physical, Pythonesque performance as Antipholus of Ephesus, slipping from smug self-assurance into unbridled anarchy as his prosperous life is dismantled before his eyes. He ends up capering about the space like a mountain goat, brawling with guards, begging on his knees for the world to make sense again. The Stage
• We have Rowan Polonski as Antipholus of Ephesus. His descent into madness is one of the funniest and yet most painful moments of the play, pointing to the dark reality behind the play’s chagrin smile. Hackney Citizen
• With so much going on both in the plot and in the production, it’s the acting that makes it. There was some very inspired casting going on at the RSC: Guy Lewis/Rowan Polonski as the two Antipholuses and Jonathan Broadbent/Greg Haise as the Dromios are just perfect. Salterton Arts Review
• It IS unquestionably a very funny production though, full of energy and invention. The clowning of both sets of twins (Broadbent and Greg Haiste as the Dromios, Guy Lewis and Rowan Polonski as the Antipholi, all sensational) is incredible but all the more hilarious because it is rooted in the terrible truth that all these people’s lives are potentially going to hell in a handcart.

Reviews for The Omission of the Family Coleman at Theatre Royal Bath are in!

• “It’s Rowan Polonski’s portrayal of Marko that shines among the performances, which are otherwise mostly fine. Polonski never overdoes Marko’s quirks, and gives us a rounded, compelling characterisation of the younger brother who has his own secrets, but relies so heavily on his family. His story is the underlying thread to the entire piece and Polonski’s dedication to the part really pay off in the play’s heartbreaking final moments.” What’s on Stage
• “It’s bleakly and brutally funny and the Argentinian humour has travelled well; Marko, with his unique take on life is usually the cause and Polonski plays him with excellent timing and a deft touch” British Theatre Guide
• “Polonski, who has performed at the RSC and Trafalgar Studios, is a revelation to Ustinov audiences, with averted eyes and outbursts of social anxiety so convincing that we feel ashamed for laughing.” The Arbuturian
• “The performances are all excellent but the stand-out is Polonski as Marko – his portrayal is utterly convincing – every gesture, expression, every line he delivers.” Swindon Advertiser

Reviews for Shakespeare in Love at Theatre Royal Bath are in!

• “Humour abounds with an often-scene stealing turn from Rowan Polonski” Broadway World
• “Rowan Polonski is positively dashing as acclaimed actor du jour Ned Alleyn think, Adam Ant in his Prince Charming years meets Errol Flynn in his swashbuckling heyday, and that’s Polonski’s Ned.” The Bath Magazine
• “Rowan Polonski camps it up tremendously as Ned Alleyn providing much laughter  his fight scenes are excellent” What’s On Bath
• “Shakespeare in Love is a cracking love letter to theatre itself and strikes gold in its stage version. It’s sure to be a staple hit for years to come.” What’s on Stage
• “The best part in this play is probably Ned Alleyn, and Rowan Polonski gives every ounce of his talent to outshine every other actor in the troupe, both within and without the play.” The Fine Times Recorder
• “The best laughs, though, come from Rowan Polonski as the ever-so-theatrical Ned Alleyn” The Reviews Hub
• “Following in the footsteps of a much-loved film puts pressure on a performance, but I can honestly say this adaptation by Lee Hall added a new dimension and would be enjoyed by both those who have or haven’t seen the movie.” Somerset Live

Rowan has been cast in Shakespeare in Love at the Theatre Royal Bath, 4 to 13 October

“Rowan Polonski shines as the patient, supportive Cavan. The chemistry between Polonski and Coulthard is unmistakable: the contrast between their new passion, and Alice reliving the memory of her dead husband, is nuanced, well-balanced and truly novel” The Spy In the Stalls

“Delightfully humorous and light-hearted for such a heavily weighted subject matter, the drama is the perfect educational tool for those wishing to understand the realities of an illness that affects as much as one in every six elderly people in the UK.” The Upcoming

“A heartfelt piece of theatre, never overly sentimental or melodramatic, this is an important show about an important issue.” London Theatre 1

“Directed by Rebecca Loudon, Coulthard’s writing is perfectly poised, as it captures all the intimacies and small details that come both from living with someone you love (platonically) and falling in love with someone (not-platonically).” Ought to be Clown

“A play that perfectly balances entertainment with an honest, powerful portrayal of the impact dementia can have on families and relationships.” Theatre Things

“Stirring, powerful and moving theatre. Best bring a handkerchief. In fact, make it two.” Close Up Culture

“It is a remarkably affecting piece of theatre and one that deserves to be seen by wider audiences.” The Live Review
