“…isi bhakhomen really knocked the wind out of me with her brash, supportive enthusiasm.” - Istvan Dugalin, 2023 The Bad Mitzvah, Toronto Fringe

“There are indelible impressions made by a trio of young Yoruba women in particular (played by isi bhakhomen, Déjah Dixon-Green and Espoir Segbeaya) who repel the men sent by Pilkings…” - J. Kelly Nestruck, The Globe and Mail, 2022 Death and the King’s Horseman, Stratford Festival

"Magda Uculmana-Falcon is highly compelling in her heart-wrenching, emotional performance as Tituba." - Leah Kuperman, The Varsity, 2018 The Crucible, Hart House Theatre
