Dublin Theatre Festival
The Festival Times Award for Best Solo Performance
"Patrick Malahide gives an amazing, entirely creditable performance uninterrupted
for
two-and-a-half hours...Judgement...aims to involve our rationality and
our emotions together, and in Malahide's tour de force of a performance, brilliantly
succeeds."
- Martin
Walsh
Evening Herald
"...it is given electrifying reality, depth, dignity, and absolutely unfaltering
conviction by the performance of Patrick Malahide."
- Tony Hennigan
Irish Independent
"...Malahide has full command of the play. Speaking quickly and
incessantly he maintains an electrifying tension that one would not have thought humanly
possible to a speech of such length. A performance of majestic splendour fully deserving
the standing ovation he received on the first night."
- Marjorie Bates Murphy
The
Stage
"Stunningly compelling...Malahide captures impeccably the
perfect combination of slightly wild, but indubitably sane, rationality. Consistently
enthralling..."
- Lindsay Paterson

by G.F. Newman

Role: Detective Chief Inspector Terry Sneed
Royal Court Theatre
Crucible Theatre, Sheffield
"Malahide is in outstanding form as Sneed. Ice cool,sardonic, heartlessly pragmatic
yet somehow attractive, his grey, almost characterless face and air of banked down
violence authentically suggest a hard-pressed CID man who rates results much higher than
principle."
- Charles Spencer

by Nick Dear

Role: George III
Bristol Old Vic Theatre, New Vic Studio,

World Premiere
"In the Ruins is an astonishing tour de force of both acting
and writing...Patrick Malahide's performance would be outstanding under normal
circumstances. Considering he has learned the role and the play in just two weeks, it is
little short of miraculous...beautifully and sensitively acted."
- David Harrison
Bristol Evening Post
"Malahide's
performance...was a tour de force of energy, wit, pathos. [His] physical mannerisms and
facial expressions are a carefully tuned finish to the verbal portrait."
- Louise Jury
Western Daily Press

Out of Joint/Abbey Theatre/Royal National Theatre
Coproduction
"Here
is, above all, a performance from Patrick Malahide that embodies with
breathtaking skill the state of the public realm... Malahide stares out at
us, hollow-eyed and disconnected, a haunting emptiness that is a chilling
image of the state."
-
Fintan O'Toole
The Irish Times
Theatre Poster for HINTERLAND
As Johnny Silvester
HINTERLAND
"In his extraordinary performance,
moreover, Patrick Malahide almost entirely inhabits Haughey's voice. He
captures quite astonishingly the way Haughey's speech mirrors the
contradictions of his language... he achieves the same feat for Haughey's
psychology, creating an utterly convincing
almalgam of ruthlessness and sentimentality, inflated self-regard and
emotional fragility, bluster and breakdown."

EMBERS
by Christopher Hampton
A play based on the novel by
Sandor Marai
Director:
Michael Blakemore
Role: Konrad
Cast: Jeremy Irons, Jean Boht
Duke of York's Theatre
London's West End
"I was fired, moved, and enthralled by Embers.
I rate it as one
of the major experiences
of my theatre-going life... Malahide's silence is pregnant.
His face is
the star of the evening.
I have rarely seen one work so expressively.
It speaks volumes in
terms of pain, sexual guilt
that cannot be acknowledged, let alone mentioned... At one point
Malahide even averts his head, as if to hide his face
from Irons's accusing gaze."
- Nicholas De Jongh
Evening Standard
2010
HAMLET
by William Shakespeare
Director: Nicholas Hytner
Role: Claudius
Cast: Rory Kinnear, Clare Higgins, Ruth Negga,
David Calder, James Laurenson, Ferdinand Kingsley
Royal
National Theatre
"Patrick Malahide's cold, unremorseful and unrepentant Claudius is utterly
convincing as a man who would kill his brother, usurp the crown,
and run a
state with a mixture of paranoia, steely control, mistrust,
and snooping
that would put Richard Nixon to shame".
- David Lister
The Independent
"[Hamlet's] stepfather, Claudius, (the superb Patrick Malahide) is a
remorseless political operator with a close physical resemblance to Vladimir
Putin: at court,
he switches between realpolitik and slick statesmanship,
and delivers his soapiest
speeches straight to camera, sitting beneath a
horribly avuncular portrait of himself.
It's a deeply ingenious way to
convey his grip on the whole nation
and characteristic of Hytner's
production, which serves Shakespeare's tragedy
without flashy originality
but with understated excellence
and a Jeeves-like discretion."
- Caroline McGinn
