Reviews...

The Poisoner's Tale -
‘Three friends, only named B, C and D, attend a dinner party hosted by a fourth, A, in order to discover the root of his increasing depression. Brogan West as the originally poisoned A, was a whirling, mesmerising force throughout, gently percolating before a Vesuvian eruption which was lung-draining to watch. Never was horror more normalised, never was profanity more poignant when an emotional and linguistic breakdown is unleashed.'...Paddy Cooper (Theatre Wales)

‘An outstanding, thought provoking and superbly acted production.’...Three Weeks ****

‘To me, this is what the fringe is all about.’...EdFringe.com *****

The White Rose -
'Beautifully acted, the tension is so well evoked that one terrified audience member cried out.'...Three Weeks ****

‘This Excellent, high quality production, with a cast creating a strong atmosphere of tension.'...EdFringe.com ****
