Hall has performed on both stage and screen; her performance as the character Daphne for the 2007 run of Noël Coward's Present Laughter at the National Theatre, London received mixed reviews. The Guardian noted that the character was a reminder of "the lurking misogyny in Coward's writing", ^[1] while Reuters considered her "a bit too gushy" and The Spectator called her "a simpering Marilyn clone of the 1950s". ^{[2] [3]} Reception for her role in Gary Owen's play We That Are Left was more favorable, as Hall received praise from The Guardian , the Evening Standard and the British Theatre Guide. ^{[4] [5]}
