Reviews

'Still, at least tonight’s episode has a nice turn from Sally Phillips who effortlessly shows the regulars how to do this acting lark properly.'

Excerpt From Review For 'Harley Street' - The Stage (Mark Wright)

‘I did find Sally Phillips' turn as round-the-galaxy solo spacewoman Clare Winchester rather amusing this week. Perhaps they could jettison the main show and do a spinoff based on her.’

Excerpt From Review Of 'Hyperdrive' Episode “Clare” - Digital Spy

'Gwendolen is played by Smack the Pony’s Sally Phillips in a puff-sleeved floral concoction. Having appeared in pretty much every British television comedy worth appearing in over recent years, Phillips knows how to deliver a funny line - She's also an accomplished physical comedian, spitting her sugar-laced tea across the stage with real relish.'

Excerpt From Review Of 'The Importance Of Being Earnest' - Music OMH - Natasha Tripney

'I just wanted to say that Sally was amazing and we totally love her. Thank you so much for recommending her. If you could please tell her I said thank you and she did a fabulous job, I would really appreciate it.'

THE PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY AWARDS

'The script, by Sally Phillips and Neil Jaworski, mocks celebrity culture but never turns too caustic. The movie, like an island vacation, passes pleasantly and all too quickly.'

Excerpt From Review Of 'The Decoy Bride' - The New York Times - Neil Genzlinger

'Sally Phillips manages to make this politically correct monstrosity mildly sympathetic by the end - by which time the tone has changed from bitter to wildly funny. All very acidic and highly enjoyable.'

Excerpt From Review Of 'Clare In The Community' - The Sunday Times

Under Appreciated Talent [Blog]

Here Are Some Things Sally's Teachers Had To Say About Her:

One of a memorable and starry group, Sally had the distinction of being the only non-A level English student ever to produce the critical and creative work required to earn a place in ‘Lit. Soc.’ She joined, with infectious enthusiasm, in our frequent theatre trips and joint meetings with the prestigious Eton Praed Society, during which aspiring Wycombe Abbey poets demonstrated their culinary, if not creative, superiority to their Eton counterparts!A sparkling Anita in Westside Story, a solo flautist in the School Orchestra and a highly able linguist who won a place at Oxford to read Italian and Linguistics, Sally’s exceptional talents were very evident. Most striking, though, were her modesty, charm and huge sense of fun.

I taught Sally for Latin up to O level. She was in Division 1, not one of the classical scholars but quick thinking and acute. We studied Book V of Virgil’s Aeneid for O level in Sally’s year and she certainly had more time for Latin literature than for grammar drill. However, what she really enjoyed was the class situation. I used to linger over the similes, trying to extract every point on which an examiner might conceivably ask a question. Sally soon picked up the style and began to take it to extremes. What was it she said about that gold and blue snake at the tomb of Anchises? It made all of us giggle. She was good fun - bright and bobbish and subtlely iconoclastic. And perhaps all those years of conjugating and declining helped a bit with her Italian and Linguistics degree.

Sally Phillips, like another master of comedy, Woody Allen, is a clarinettist, passing her Grade VIII at Wycombe Abbey. I was her accompanist and I remember the enlivening effect of her personality during a rehearsal one dark, melancholy Sunday afternoon. What struck me was the expressiveness of her face and her manner. She was friendly yet guarded, warm and cool at the same time, polite and business-like but with a roguishness and latent contemptuousness behind the eyes. These laughing, mocking eyes were wonderfully in evidence when she played a receptionist opposite Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge in the well known T.V. series. She was corpsing, something that would not have been allowed at Wycombe Abbey in those austere days.

I can picture Sally running down the wing in her purple house colour, and again for my U15 XII. We had some laughs then, I remember, and as I look back I can see the seeds for her successful acting career already planted in those whacky Campbell early bed plays.
