Carol Smith

Since graduating from Toi Whakaari in 1989, Carol Smith has acted on stage, radio and screen, winning a Chapman Tripp award for play The Country along the way.

In 1995 Fiona Samuel picked Smith for an extended solo turn as a conflicted hippie, in Samuel's directorial debut Face Value - A Real Dog.

... Carol Smith as Corinne brings the play to an emotionally devastating conclusion in a superb performance that started with a mannered, Coward-like flippancy that hides her anger and pain. Laurie Atkinson, reviewing The Country, Dominion-Post, 3 July 2006
