Lyn Gardner's Early Tips for Fringe 2012
Critic's Choice Scotland On Sunday – 'In less than hour, the mood has switched from humdrum to violent to poignant. You leave the theatre with your head reeling'
The List Theatre Pick 2011.
***** WhatsOnStage – 'a talented graduate of the Royal Court's Young Writers' Programme...Clever stuff and expertly executed'
***** Across The Arts Review – 'a master class in everything right with fringe-style monologues. The production is a powerhouse of acting, writing and directing...the script is chock-full of clever insights and hilariously filthy lines...a labyrinth of ideas, brilliantly questioning the very essence of what theatre is...a tour de force...do not miss this'
**** - The Scotsman – 'Dave Florez's script is so lithe it springs off in all directions...is it an inspirational story with a poetic title, or a clever fiction which shows us how easily we are manipulated? Either way, this a sharp, inventive piece of theatre, impeccably delivered...a reminder of what extraordinary things you can still achieve with a bare stage, hardly any props, and one electrifying actor. The moment when Nichol pulls the rug out from under the plot about 40 minutes in is one of the cleverest theatrical twists I've seen, at this or any other Fringe. Dizzyingly brilliant stuff'
**** - Metro – 'Hard hitting drama that burns bright'
**** - Fest – 'The least sentimental show that you'll leave with tears in your eyes'
**** - One4Review – 'One you are unlikely to forget.'
