The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr Hyde
"Blake Kubena in the title roles is reminiscent of a lavishly bewigged Patrick Stewart"
"Blake Kubena excels in the titular roles. His performance kept the audience gripped on every word."
"New to the show is the impressive Blake Kubena as Jekyll and Hyde. He was well-cast, both physically and for his nuanced interpretation. He cuts quite a thrilling dash as the ‘twisted’ scientist who transforms in a moment into the utterly amoral Hyde."
"The standout, of course, is Kubena, who deftly balances the duality of his part with energy and verve"
"Blake Kubena’s performance as Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde is everything you would want from a gothic antihero"
Macbeth
“This incredibly engaging production ranges from pageantry to pathos, juxtaposing hauntings and battles with tense and tender moments of interpersonal drama, all weaving together to form one splendid theatrical tapestry.” – Australian Stage
“This production is unmissable.” – Theatre Now
Comedy of Errors
"...one can’t help but make special note of Blake Kubena and Ryan Bennett as the two hapless Dromios, whose increasingly antic states are truly hilarious to behold as they bear the brunt of the play’s spiraling misunderstandings." - Australian Stage
"(Blake Kubena and Ryan Bennett) give impressive high energy performances throughout and have the audience eating from their palms." - Arts Review
"hilariously over-the-top performances from the twin servants" - New Zealand Herald
Heady Conduct Theatre Company & The Minack Theatre
"Parolles (Blake Kubena) saunters through it all, flashing his saffron-silk ‘kerchief without a care, delightfully seducing the audience with mischievous asides." - Jenni Balow

'The performances by the entire cast, but especially by the two leads, Blake Kubena and Joey Bartram, are exceptional: as the play shifts to its inevitable, heartbreaking conclusion, they bring out the script's pathos eloquently.' - The List
'This play is a tragedy with humour epitomised in the relationship between Rich and Saul. Blake Kubena and Joey Bartram are superbly convincing in these roles. From the outset they create credible characters and successfully capture the highs and lows of their complex love affair.' - Broadway Baby
'Main characters Rich and Saul performed with the sensitivity, emotion and humanity the play deserved' - Edinburgh Festivals Magazine
'Kubena and Bertram deliver a convincing and touching performance as the central couple whose in-depth conversation around the reality of the situation they face is both humbling, touchingly and above all else powerfully performed. The face life together examining, love, death and reality in equal measure. A stunning journey of the human condition.' - SG Magazine
'Blake Kubena’s contribution as the charismatic, witty, yet inherently flawed Rich, was distinctly powerful.' -The Student Newspaper
Heady Conduct Theatre Company & The Rose Playhouse
'Young company, Heady Conduct, make an eye-catching debut with this atmospheric and original piece.'
