"A powerful and moving portrayal of military experiences, this important play is not to be missed"

— The Reviews Hub reviews Reparation Island at Birmingham Hippodrome (2019)

“It is fun, thought provoking and a beautifully crafted and executed piece of theatre and my pick of the fringe”

– Kara Taylor Alberts reviews From The Ground Up at Assembly Roxy, Ed Fringe (2017)

“The play neatly exposes the limitations and problems of democracy”

— Made In Plymouth reviews Short Changed at Theatre Royal Plymouth (2016)

“This simplicity and control is rare to see in a Fringe show, and it is suggestive of the thoughtfulness in this production as a whole.”

“Worth seeing not because of what it shows you about the creatives and production, but what it encourages you to think about in your own self.”

“A witty bit of fun, a deep insight into society or a scary analysis of your own social and behavioural preferences.”

“Edinburgh is supposed to be about unusual theatrical experiences

and, on that measure, From the Ground Up scores highly.”
