“Shakespeare from the hip. Ingenious and very funny” – Will Gompertz, BBC Arts Editor “Simply sublime, side-splittingly hilarious improvised comedy almost worthy of the Bard himself” Broadway Baby “Go and see this show. It’s intelligent, it’s funny, it’s all of the adjectives for brilliant. I’m still not sure how they did what they did” Pocket Size Theatre “I would see it every night if I could” Voice Magazine “Anarchic and high-energy… Laughs galore” The Reviews Hub “It will leave you hungry for more… See it as often as you can” Arts York “A joy… seemingly channelled from the playwright himself” North West End UK
