The varying elements of the production, stage design, music and sound effects, and the precise, poetic script come together in an intelligent, laugh-out-loud, thought-provoking performance. Unmissable. VENUE
Oliver Hollis is fine as Dennis, ready to explode as the battle for his sanity rages, and Paul Mundell is excellent in a number of roles, not least a smarmy dinner-jacket wearing fly with a Cheshire cat grin. BRISTOL EVENING POST
Wonderfully funny, with some brilliantly timed performances from a stellar cast of only three, directed with aplomb by Emma Earle…go and see it before they have to start swatting the audience away. THE PUBLIC REVIEWS
