FringeReview UK 2019
This has to be the smartest debut from this venue since Jessica Swales’ Bluestockings: no wonder the playscripts sold out early.
A masterly, unsettling play that in this production never puts a foot wrong. And wrong-foots us all.
An enchanting speed-read of our connectedness, a reminder that a fiver can change your life. Irresistible.
For a time you feel that beyond Churchill’s world, nothing else quite seems to exist.
The Crypt organisers as well as John Greening really have hit on an ideal recitation.
A beautifully-constructed play, small in compass, big in scope and deft at managing the transitions
Maud Dromgoole’s proved more than adroit, skilful, and deliciously risk-taking. A must-see.
Rotterdam’s an outstanding play about sexual identity, choices, and above all what it means to transition.
A superb ensemble piece. Of all dramas on these interesting times in America, it’s the one truly necessary.
The Brighton Scratch Night 2019
Six new pieces - one of which will be produced at next year's Fringe
A triumph for all concerned. Juliet Stevenson even gains in stature. Icke’s last production could hardly go better than this.
A bewitching mix of deconstructive magic and fabulous therapy, it’s above all Grace Molony who brushes distinction into this already distinctive production.
This spectacular production beats with a fervour and purpose few adaptations achieve. Ellams has made Three Sisters new.
Total Immediate Collective Imminent Terrestrial Salvation
The most consistently satisfying work of Tim Crouch I’ve seen.
Cora Bissett’s set the bar thrillingly high for a new genre. Who could follow her?
When We Have Sufficiently Tortured Each Other
This cast’s exemplary dedication deserves watching for their sheer performative belief.
