“Moxie” in Relative Values by Noël Coward, produced by Metro Theatre, Vancouver, BC, June to July, 2003.

Nina Shoroplova, who plays Moxie, Felicity’s lady’s maid, completes the triumvirate of successful central portraits. A weird plot twist requires Moxie to disguise herself as a member of the gentry; Shoroplova pulls off the change of accents and the resultant class comedy extremely well.

Colin Thomas, Georgia Straight, July 2003.

As Mrs. Dora Moxford, Nina Shoroplova hides a past with her efficient lady’s maid appearance and service.

She and Crestwell together make an admirable pair both as the experienced and dutiful servants and when they “let their hair down” in moments of stress and become real people. Crestwell’s worldly wisdom and succinct Cockney comments keep both upstairs and downstairs on an even keel.
