REVIEWS: THE COLLECTOR by Mark Healy (dir. Lisa Milinazzo)

"...Miranda Grey, played excellently by Jillian Geurts. [...] with an exquisite physicality, but also with a shrewdness that tries to oppose Clegg’s. [...] In two hours and thirty minutes Geurts relentlessly puts Miranda through the paces - of sickness, of guile, subterfuge and seduction... "

"Jillian Geurts persuasively expresses Miranda's determination to do whatever she must to free herself. She draws on charm and passion as she keeps changing tactics, her garrulous energy never faltering until her plan ultimate plan for Frederick fails and she succumbs to humiliation, depression and a deep hatred against not only Frederick but God and life."

"...Jillian Geurts is captivating and formidable as Miranda. Ms. Geurts wonderfully achieves the requisite girlishness, innocence and terror of the role. She and de Rogatis have a great offbeat chemistry together that goes far in realizing this difficult material."
