"Northern Ballet’s new biopic Victoria combines grandness with emotional depth. Cathy Marston’s ballet sees its heroine as both woman and queen, image and person. Thoughtful, ambitious and vividly danced."
The Independent

"Marston’s choreography is as beautifully orchestrated as Philip Feeney’s cinematic score, which itself does much of the storytelling; design and dramaturgy are equally impressive with lead performances of real depth. It is a remarkable achievement."
The Guardian

"Always a class act, Marston here tells this complex story with great dexterity, her expressive, often MacMillan-esque steps edging towards the dance-theatrical end of the neoclassical spectrum and knitting well with Philip Feeny’s score."
The Telegraph
