Midwife (The Vessel-New comedy Web series) Fyrian Films Raindance award winner 2013​

Liverpool air hostess​​​​​ (Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat by Mark Ravenhill)​​​-Cheekish Productions Union Theatre 2010

" With a cast of four actors taking all the roles, these wide-ranging scenes showcase their impressive diversity. In this, Daphne Kouma stands out, especially in the role of Liz. And as they all hit emotional heights of trauma, this is affecting stuff  "

Iraqi woman (Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat by Mark Ravenhill)-Cheekish Productions Union Theatre 2010​​

​

‘we are plunged unceremoniously into the harrowing darkness of Crime and Punishment, a tale set in an occupied Middle-Eastern country that depicts one soldier’s broken-minded cruelty towards a defenceless widow. This is followed by a deceptively bright start to the blackly comic Paradise Lost, where the versatile actress Daphne Kouma sheds her hijab from the previous play and becomes a free-spirited Liver lass accidentally caught up in anti-terrorism.

​Mona-('Eschara- Rennaisance' a new collection of plays about the London July bombings) -Cheekish Productions 2010​

"Of all of the six short plays the last, Renaissance (by Phillip Whiteman), hit me the hardest. Daphne Kouma as the sister struggling to understand and desperate to help gave an equally sensitive portrayal and the tension between the two sisters was palpable."

The Fringe Review 4* 2010​



‘The scene where a woman chats with her sister, describing how her little boy was blown apart in a tube carriage is incredibly distressing, even for the actors involved. It is obvious that real tears are being shed onstage.

Credit must go to the cast who work their socks off in this production. "
Southwark News 2010



"a conversation between two sisters, one still grieving for her son killed on 7 July is performed, pitched perfectly to show how important it is to move on and how impossible it seems to do so. There was sobbing in the audience when this gem came to a close; it was bleak, raw but dignified and deeply moving. "

Hermia- 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' by William Shakespeare -Principal Theatre Company 2006​



“The lovers…time after time strike comic gold, James Alex Hutchinson, Daphne Kouma, Charlie Palmer and Eleanor Lawrence spark off each other like pieces of flint. Their scene of confused love does the unthinkable and upstages the play-within-a play finale”
Enfield Gazette, for ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’





​​Olivia- 'Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare- Principal Theatre Company 2007​​​


“Daphne Kouma makes for a fine Olivia, justifiably steely in her mourning, yet allowing her some bursts of energy when her amour takes a hold”

“Daphne Kouma as Olivia provides a dash of poise and glamour to this production”
