Sydney Morning Herald review for The Governess in Lessons Learnt

Sydney Morning Herald review:

"Half disciplinary lesson and half absurdist caper, this one-woman show is a tutorship in unfettered character originality. Forbidding and mildly unhinged in a long tailored outfit, Rentell's governess reigns from a tiny Union Jack-topped desk and blackboard. Between chalk-dust dances, New Testament horse impressions, a spine-tingling banana-eating solo and lessons about terrors beyond her classroom, she is twitchy, seductive, frightening and demented. Rentell's governess is a joy to watch, with the potential to be developed even further."
