WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

Anne in BORN IN EAST BERLIN (WORLD PREMIERE BY ROGELIO MARTINEZ @ San francisco playhouse)

“Perry’s cast members charm. Malloy gives the brash Anne a freewheeling confidence, as if she thinks she should be able to win the Germans over on every point with no more than a “Hey, now, you guys.” 

  • Lily Janiak, SF Chronicle

“The vividness of Anne also keeps us on the edge of our seats, because Ash Malloy, who brings her to life, is such a thrilling presence. Her combination of passion, pragmatism, innocence and, at the same time, in the eyes of her adversaries, her brazen sexuality informs her every movement on stage. It is hard to avert one’s eyes from Ms. Malloy; one looks forward to seeing her again. It helps that she is Martinez’s most striking and original creation. We know her. She is us. 

"Both actors (Jones) and (Ash Malloy) offer nuanced and dynamic characters, pulling us in.

"The strongest work comes from Ash Malloy as Anne and Patrick Andrew Jones as Hans"

  • My Cultural Landscape, George Haymont

"Margarett Perry’s cast do quite well in their roles. A great exchange – probably the best one to feature Martinez’s dialogue – is one in which Anne (Malloy) and ‘Brad’ (Jones) have it out... It makes you want to know more about these characters, regardless of what brought them together."

  • The Thinking Man's Idiot

“Dressed as a goth-punk hybrid in black leather and red flannel, her hair teased out to its full-on ratted potential, she negotiates the contracts for Bruce Springsteen’s concert tours. If you happened to be alive in the ’80s, you either were Anne, a wannabe Anne, or Anne-adjacent. She’s brash, wholly herself, and armed with an omnipotent sense of her American privilege.”

“The confinement of Springsteen’s manager, big-haired “Anne” (Ash Malloy) (who astounds with her insouciance) is beyond funny. Anne manages to either agitate each of the boundary-less government bureaucrats to confusion- or draw them in with her unique form of American charm.”

  • Splash Mag, Michele Caprario

RACHEL CORRIE in MY NAME IS RACHEL CORRIE (NATIONAL TOUR)

“Malloy's portrayal of each and every stage of Corrie's development is immaculate. Within the space of about 90 minutes, she smoothly moves the character from a franticly earnest youth to an extremely bewildered but present and determined and articulate young adult.”

  • Rochester City Newspaper

“[Malloy's] youthful energy is electric, and she builds knowledge and awareness with her character in a progression that is subtle and transfixing.Malloy conveys the tragedy of all the people touched in this story, a Palestinian gardener, Rachel's mother, Rachel at various stages in life, with acute sensibility.”
