REVIEW EXTRACTS
Mincemeat is a remarkable piece of theatre: multilayered, passionate and as innovative as anything on offer on the London stage.
The Guardian (Mincemeat)
It has the buzz of a true theatrical event.
The Times (Pericles)
This is one of the best productions of Büchner’s classic un-finished play I have ever seen. Why is this? Because company and play are so perfectly matched.
The Guardian (Woyzeck)
