Sydney

Sydney
"Linda Nicholls-Gidley’s script, well staged by director Carly Fisher who has been an impressive player on the Sydney theatre scene for some years now and has her own theatre company, Theatre Travels, compellingly combines verbatim stories with scripted text."
- Sydney Arts Guide
"Under the direction of Carly Fisher, the presentation varies between exposition, poetry and gritty realism...Director Fisher directs a splendid team."

Sydney
"Director Carly Fisher confidently stages this light bubbly show of doomed love and the search for personal agency. Carly’s tastes and influences are all things Broadway and she unashamedly gives “Puppets” a Broadway flourish or two. She knows how to make a show. I, for one, want to see more!"
- Kate Gaul, Theatre Now
"The show is meticulous and well-crafted by Fisher."

Adelaide Theatre Guide
"Carly Fisher’s direction was excellent, with a great concept for the production, good pacing in the performance, and undeniably great casting and guiding of the girls."
- This is Radelaide
"Directed by Carly Fisher, the staging is dynamic and exciting throughout the play. The movements, lighting, sound, levels and use of space draw attention to action and creates apprehension; it pulls you into wanting to know what happens next." - Weekend Notes
In Their Footsteps
Sydney
"Director Carly Fisher has applied a discreet military precision to the blocking of this show...Fisher has put truth at the centre of every move and thought and, with a text that speaks real people’s words, that is a joy to watch."
- Reviews by Judith
"Carly Fisher displays sure footed direction of Ashley Adelman’s play."
- Sydney Arts Guide
"The performances were relaxed, with pacing by Fisher reminiscent of a long chat rather than a documentary interview."
- Night Writes

"Fisher has subtly placed ritual at the heart of the play, the obvious in enacting soldiers, but more discretely as the characters often return, after speaking, to where they last were and so the visual reflects on itself. And she holds the cast under quite often."
- Reviews by Judith
"Carly Fisher’s direction is strong after a successful run of this production at Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2020. The pacing is unpredictable, changing tone on a dime and leaving the audience continually unsettled."
