Recenzii

'A truly magnificent piece of theatre'
Jethro Compton writes and directs this string of well-loved tropes which stays just on the safe side of pastiche, and makes a compelling cowboy tale set out on the edge of civilisation, where the gun is law, the whiskey is copious but dreadful, and all's fair in a fair fight
A genuinely gripping drama and one I warmly recommend
Compton brings out the humour in his script as well as building up its melodramatic moments to create a lively entertainment that is engagingly presented
Compton's adaptation - treads the right side of the line between loving homage and cliche.
Jethro Compton's production never tries to emulate the film but boldly treads its own path by using the original tale as a launch pad for a highly atmospheric, visceral and triumphant adaptation that audaciously takes an unfashionable genre and makes it resonate loud and clear.
Compton's script contains much natural humour, but never veers towards comedy and he shows good judgement in ensuring that sequences which could have been risible occur offstage or in darkness.
