 On
Stitching
"Neilson's Stitching is the talking point
of the fringe and one of the most exciting plays of the
year. Startlingly rich and challenging , Neilson depicts
with aching precision a relationship in which love is undermined
by distrust. McKee and Boyack are extremely impressive.
I left the theatre with my pulse, and my mind, racing."
- Time Out
"Anthony Neilson's new play explodes with power, discipline,
integrity and sheer cruel psychological accuracy…..
Neilson's writing has a terrible beauty…he directs
with impeccable clarity and objectivity and the acting blazes
like subterranean fire" - The Sunday Times

"Anthony Neilson examines the way we love now with
his exquisite brand of bruised tenderness. A brave play,
acted with enormous bravado by Selina Boyack and Phil McKee"
- The Guardian
On The Bogus
Woman
“Kay Adshead’s angry stripped-down
script bleeds humanity…. Words in Adshead’s
hands are bullets. Brace yourself and see this play –
preferably with Jack Straw strapped in beside you”
The Independent
“so meticulously well done, so superbly performed
by Noma Dumezweni and so manifestly based on the indefensible
facts about what is happening in British detention centres
now, that even the most dedicated reactionary would find
if difficult to turn away in indifference. This a beautifully
crafted work, designed to make British people feel sick
with shame at what is being done in our name; and by God
it succeeds” - The Scotsman (Fringe First Award)
“The Bogus Woman is a play of the highest calibre:
enthralling, inspiring and beautifully executed." -
Time Out
“…a powerful, passionate committed piece of
theatre that if seen widely enough might change hearts and
minds. If I were Greg Dyke, I would put it on straight on
BBC TV and invite Jack Straw to respond in the course of
a properly focused rational debate”
“You don’t often hear people crying in
the theatre. But you do during The Bogus Woman. Kay Adshead’s
play is a body blow…..delivered with top-velocity
grace by Noma Dumezweni.” - The Observer
"Kay Adshead's devastating, well researched play....
At the end of the evening I went, the audience was so moved,
that for a while the applause was shocked into silence.
Political theatre is alive again." - The Evening
Standard
On The Censor
“This play is poignant, funny,
brilliantly controlled and profound” - Daily Telegraph
“This three-hander is as clever, and considerably
less loaded than Oleanna and as topical as Pop-corn. It
is more unsettling than both, but in its own weird, urgent
way almost beautiful.” - Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
