Critical reception

[edit]

The Duchess of Malfi (2019)

[edit]

In the 2019 production of The Duchess of Malfi at Royal Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh, The Skinny remarked on his performance saying "Angus Miller offers a terrifyingly unpredictable performance as Ferdinand, with outbursts of anger that foreshadow his descent into madness”.[9] WhatsOnStage said "Ferdinand, beautifully played by Angus Miller, is an overgrown baby who fetishizes his own childhood and doesn't understand the emotions unleashed in him by his sister"[10] while The Telegraph considered that Miller's Ferdinand had "terrifying shades of Dennis Hopper".[5]

Anna Karenina (2023)

[edit]

In 2023, Miller played Stiva, the title character's brother in Anna Karenina at Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh. Of his performance, The Times said “Miller is excellent as the feckless Stiva.”[3], while the North West End UK said "he brings with him a natural stage presence and is clearly a confident and skilled performer."[11]The Stage found him particularly "funny, grinning, guffawing" as Stiva.[12]

Dead Dad Dog (2023)

[edit]

In 2023, Miller starred with Liam Brennan in the father and son play, Dead Dad Dog at the Finborough Theatre in London. The Arts Desk said “Miller is winningly charming as Eck.”[6] Broadway Baby found that "Miller is immediately engaging and makes Eck into a very likeable character".[13] ReviewsGate said the play elicits terrific performances from Angus Miller as Eck trying in vain to impress the... apparatchiks.[14]
