Brighton Fringe 2022
Accidental Birth of an Anarchist
A thoroughly absorbing play whose polemical agency is none the less tempered by the people it’s refracted through.
A superb revival of Bartlett’s warmest, most ground-breaking, perhaps most enduring play so far.
Bonkers brilliance. Cocky couldn’t have been premiered with two more stunning actors, and the author’s flawless stepping-in remains remarkable.
Raine balances articulate ferocity with its opposite: a broken plea. Scott Roberts’ revival improves on the NT premiere. In his hands Consent’s a small classic.
Acting here is tighter than any version I’ve seen. This revival of a modern classic has to be the best of the Fringe so far.
