WITH ME - WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU ABOUT PREGNANCY AND THE NEW MOTHERHOOD
"Flacks’ comic power springs partly from her brilliant mimicry. But she’s also a Nutshell Nietzsche, a mordant philosopher who deploys her wit like an intellectual laser beam.” – The Toronto Star Best of 2000... Diane's in the news! <read

| "What makes Random Acts such a standout piece of theatre is its commitment to intelligence and quality. Flacks has written a deliciously cunning, thoroughly original piece." |
| -
Rick Conrad, Halifax Chronicle-Herald, March 1999.
|
| "Flacks, who has an unerring ear for quirky vocal mannerisms, is the sharpest character comedian to come out of Canada since Mike Myers and, at its best, her writing can be both hilarious and acerbic." |
| -
Martin Morrow, Calgary Herald, January 1999.

 |
 |
| "Flacks' performance is a demonstration of extraordinary energy and strong rapport with an audience. Watching as she leads a whirlwind tour of a wounded psyche is like seeing a juggler effortlessly keep multiple balls in the air. NNNN" |
| -
Jill Lawless, NOW Magazine, February 1993.
|
| "As a performer, Flacks is being hailed everywhere as an exceptional talent." |
| -
Vit Wagner, Toronto Star, February 1993.
|
| "Great writing, great performing, great theatre... Diane Flacks, remember the name." |
| -
Richard Ouzounian, CBC Radio, July 1992.
|
 |
| "Flacks creates characters onstage much in the style of Lily Tomlin, and like Tomlin also hints at real-life connections between the characters in their off-stage life... Even in so small a matter as removing earrings to signify character transition, she choreographs the movement so that it becomes an exhilarating asset to the script itself. It is remarkable to see how familiar characters, carefully observed and wittily written, become new again." |
| -
Ray Conlogue, Globe and Mail, July 1991.
|
| "...the accuracy in her gestures and vocal inflections, coupled with equally sharp-eared writing, make her people as unsettlingly real as they are amusingly typical." |
| -
Martin Morrow, Calgary Herald, October 1992.
