Boylan played Oracle, the director Shannon Murphy stated that character was so central that the audiences were "actually watching the production through her mind."[2]

In early 2010 The Daily Telegraph said that Boylan was the latest up and coming "it" actress from Australia.[3] Boylan was then nominated for one of Cosmopolitan's "Fun, Fearless Female Woman Of The Year" awards.[4] Boylan then started working on a production with Polly Stenham, titled Tusk Tusk. Cate Blanchett had personally chosen Boylan to appear in the production. She also continued with her career in theatre in the production of That Face, working with Maeve Dermody.[4] Boylan also had a main role in Josh Reed's horror film Primal. Boylan played the character of Mel, a character who turns into a cannibal. Matthew Leyland of Total Film said that Boylan "downsized the fear factor" due to her appearance in the film, but added she approached the role well.[5]
