Reviews

Gente Singular

‘(…) it’s an excellent collective work of the company (…), namely of Luís Miranda, in the role of the writer and President of the Republic Manuel Teixeira Gomes. His work, as well as the others’, is remarkable.’
Algarve Hoje, 10/02/00

Morrer Como Um Marquês

“Luís A. Miranda has forgotten himself, in order to portray the Marquis of Pombal in his old age. Convincing, he does not exaggerate the tone or the continuing pain he felt. It’s a truthful representation of a defeated old man who did not stop believing in Portugal.’
Ana Oliveira, Jornal do Algarve, 07/04/05

George Dandin

‘Luis Miranda plays perfectly his role as the young lover who fools George Dandin.’
Ana Oliveira, Jornal do Algarve, 05/11/09
