Perspective
The Duchess of Malfi (2019)
In the 2019 production of the The Duchess of Malfi at Royal Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh, the 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 The Telegraph considered that Miller's Ferdinand had "terrifying shades of Dennis Hopper".[5]
Anna Karenina (2023)
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)
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]
