REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘An exquisitely idiosyncratic worldview that is as funny as it is wonderfully weird… remarkable for both its sheer inventiveness and its perfect pitch.’ New York Times (Jackson’s Way)

‘It’s a real cracker… This is a show that makes you yearn to get off the hamster wheel and make a bid for freedom.’ The Guardian (The Receipt)

‘Adamsdale is creating a body of work that rides roughshod over the boundaries between comedy and theatre, making us laugh even as it asks the big questions.’ The Guardian (The Human Computer)
