"Marissa Orjalo

is a real find"

"Marissa Orjalo is a revelation. [...] As Grace, she is feisty, charming and has an excellent command of the exaggerated physicality, line delivery and timing that farce requires."

“Grace, as played by Orjalo, is equally witty and wise, transcending the trope of the naive young ingénue.”
