Review: AKEDAH, Hampstead Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Feb 21, 2023

Akedah won the 2019 Bruntwood Prize Original New Voices Award, and is Michael John O’Neill’s first full length play. It’s a tricky show in every sense of the word: the themes are very heavy, with little levity, and the plot is often hard to keep track of, as new details about the characters’ past are gradually added. The result is a very bleak, emotionally fraught production that’s difficult to unpick.

BWW Review: CYPRUS AVENUE, Royal Court
by Gary Naylor - Feb 20, 2019

Cyprus Avenue is a blistering black comedy illuminated by a sensational performance from Stephen Rea as Eric, a man adrift in a world that is changing too quickly for him, feeding a psychosis about to explode.

BWW Review: Stephen Rea is Chillingly Understated in David Ireland's CYPRUS AVENUE
by Michael Dale - Jun 27, 2018

On the surface, the plot of CYPRUS AVENUE is just a little too weird to take seriously, and that's one of the strengths of David Ireland's creepy drama, as director Vicky Featherstone, Artistic Director of London's Royal Court, seamlessly transitions the piece from cerebral exploration to dark comedy to a sickeningly violent ending.
