As an actor, working with Emma is a gift.  Every project she undertakes, she meets with extensive and painstakingly accurate research, which gives her a deep understanding of the material.  Her vision is always clear.  However, she never fails to recognise how important it is to allow the actors to play and experiment, encouraging freedom and creativity.  Whenever I'm in the rehearsal room with her, I feel safe and I believe that's the only way an actor can venture out of his/her comfort zone, which is essential to originate a bold and compelling performance."

I worked with Emma in my capacity as Chairman of the Barnes Community Players.  We asked Emma to direct the most challenging production we have ever undertaken, Jesus Christ Superstar.  Once she decided she was going to take on the challenge, Emma stuck with it and successfully overcame all obstacles with a professional, personable and graceful attitude.  The use of the church, lighting, interpretation of the story lines, costumes, it all came together in a remarkable show, which everyone loved to be part of and was proud to have engaged with.  The Barnes Community Players put their trust in Emma's ability and we were not disappointed.  She 'gets the job done' with grace, integrity and efficiency, creating a remarkable show.  I would recommend Emma without hesitation."
Patrick Van den Bergh - Chair of the Barnes Community Players

Working with Shadow Road was a very exciting experience, especially as we’d not organised a theatrical production here at London Wetland Centre before.  So we were delighted when Emma King-Farlow wrote bespoke productions for us, both for our St George’s Day activities and Robin Hood.  She managed to use the unique nature of the Centre to maximise its potential for both plays.  Although it was very hard work for both parties managing the events, Shadow Road were always extremely professional and the end productions were thrilling – our visitors loved them!"
Catherine Starling - Marketing & Communications Manager, WWT London Wetland Centre

Dreams from the Pit had the audience spellbound. It was an emotional rollercoaster and, from what I could tell, very much appreciated. This was a huge undertaking, most professionally executed. Thank you for doing it to support us. It did a lot of good and got the word out to a new audience."
Commodore Andrew Cameron - Chief Executive, Combat Stress
