Recenzii

A startlingly deep reflection on the mysterious relationship between performance and despair, the intense life of the stage and the sudden blackness of death.
Wonderfully entertaining but emotionally devastating . . . Remarkable, multi-layered and utterly gripping.
It delicately sits between truth and fiction, playing with the intangibility of magic and human connection.
Gripping psychothriller about truth and perspective from rising star Rob Drummond ... [a] breakneck, ambitious story ... a hugely poignant statement about the very nature of secular truth and how we essentially are no more than what we tell ourselves to believe.
[A] strange and stirring piece of 21st-century theatre ... it is thrilling? to see a first full-length play which works so relentlessly ?and brilliantly on the consciousness of the audience, taking us on a journey - into the immediate past of our society and its possible futures - from which we cannot return unchanged.
Very funny ... what Quiz Show does brilliantly ... is give theatrical form to the nightmare of a disturbed mind, one riven by false and repressed memories ... It leaves us uneasy and haunted.
Powerful and spellbinding ... Fun as the veneer is, behind the False's quiz show format is a timely, brave and important play that delves right to the heart of a contemporary tale of celebrity culture and mass denial.
Drummond's dangerously incisive piece plays with pop culture in a way that ultimately damns it. . . When the applause comes at the end of Walsh's final, pulverising soliloquy, it damns us all.
