Notices
Genevieve recently starred as Marilyn Monroe in THE MARILYN CONSPIRACY at Park Theatre, 19 June – 27 July 2024.
4 stars, The Times: ‘No matter what the script’s merits, any actress playing Monroe should be able to convey the white heat of her allure, and Genevieve Gaunt vividly communicates Monroe’s volatility as she shifts between narcissistic triumph, wildcat fury, baby doll vulnerability and whimsical charm — simultaneously victim and master of her emotions.’
Michael Billington, The Guardian, Review of Monogamy, The Park Theatre.
‘Genevieve Gaunt is very funny as the language-distorting PA’
The Times: Review of Ghosts of the Titanic
‘It’s to the credit of an accomplished cast led by the charismatic Genevieve Gaunt’
Radio Times, review of The Human Frontier audio drama:
‘The supremely talented Genevieve Gaunt’
Awards
