Reviews: Defender of the Faith "De Faoite's exquisitely poised performance as the purse-lipped Jesuitical trouble-shooter J.J makes a huge contribution to the tension and menace." Emer O Kelly, The Independent. The Fairgreen Slaughterhouse "De Faoite is superb" The Sunday Times. The Lieutenant of Inishmore "In a strong cast, Diarmuid de Faoite stands out" The Irish Times. Pádraic Ó Conaire "This was a truly marvelous experience... de Faoite brings us on a roller coaster of emotion... The story may be Ó Conaire's, but the genius in this particular work is undoubtedly de Faoite's." Rióna Ní Fhrighíl, Irish Theatre Magazine.
