Whether you remember the Sixties or not, Epstein is a thoroughly satisfying theatrical experience. DO.NOT.MISS

Directed with subtlety and feeling by Jen Heyes . . . this is a beautifully crafted play with two wonderfully layered performances

This really is a diamond of a show. Andrew and Will play their parts to perfection and play with our emotions, and for those old enough, memories of Brian Epstein, the man

Directed with subtlety and feeling by Jen Heyes, this is a beautifully crafted play

At times comic, at times intensely moving… Epstein is not merely an exercise in nostalgia 50 years on from the Beatles first hit. It also finds the real man lurking inside an enigma

the acting by Andrew Lancel as ‘Brian Epstein’ is mesmerising

Lancel as Epstein is a revelation. The accent and mannerisms are present and correct, but this never feels like an impression. . . as powerful and convincing as you’ll see on the London stage

Brian was a genius, but he was also human and it is the human side of Brian that Andrew Lancel brings to life. By the end I felt as if I knew and understood Brian for the first time and, again for the first time, I realised how sad I was that he had died so young

An experience not to be missed

It’s a must-see opportunity to discover a previously unexplored story and celebrate a true icon of 1960’s popular culture – a man who shaped music and style across the world

A haunting, lyrical meditation on personal power, family and identity

Hits the core of humanity and all of what is going on in the world

Compelling and cathartic, dignified and passionate, the essence of live performance

Having watched a lot of theater -to -video experiments. I thought this was so beautifully, thoughtfully made. Congratulations

Truth to Power Cafe is a highly original mix of personal memoir, pungent testimony and political resistance to what someone calls ‘all the isms that the system upholds’

A polemic on people with power over you…not to be missed

A priceless repository of living social history, wit, wisdom and defiance

The revolutionary potential of theatre at it’s simplest and most direct

Jen Heyes has a great eye for a good shot. The piece is a carefully crafted and loving triple-aspected memoir collaborative art-making at its best

The device of staging the play as a two-hander, with occasional use of filmed backdrops and silhouettes, gives Jen Heyes’ production considerable intensity

It stands to say that the cinematography in this production (directed by Jen Heyes) is nothing
less than brilliant

The image of the Titanic speeding onward as the sea rushes towards the audience and as the ship seemed to go over the top of them the sea enveloped them and took them down. Incredible imagery, superbly narrated and with a cast that lived the moment, this really was one of the most outstanding pieces of theatre

Treasured is a clever, disturbing piece of work. It should be seen

Successfully avoiding most of the clichés – both musical and narrative – that have a way of attaching themselves to tales of great tragedy. Not easily pigeonholed, the work incorporates storytelling, aerial theatre, dramatic projections and music in following the liner’s story from construction to collision

Ailis Ni Riain’s original composition for a lone trumpet player, performed live by Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra’s Brendan Ball adds a strong layer to proceedings, the simplicity cuts through the evening perfectly

The story of the Titanic is spectacularly reimagined in the city where the ship was registered

Treasured made an eloquent statement about the inescapability of history when the projection of passengers’ names settled into an image of the offices of the White Star Line in Liverpool, a building still in existence today. Respectfully lifting the lid on the archives for dramatic purposes, Treasured demonstrated that unlike the physical ruins of the super-liner, this history will never be laid to rest

Metaphor and irony resound throughout – you are, quite literally, embarking on something extraordinary as you make your way to the great nave

The heavily symbolic final act is where most productions of Blood Wedding degenerate into absurdity, yet it is here where Heyes’ staging comes into it’s own

a theatrical tour de force

Unmissable

you have made huge progress in doing justice to the wonderful poetry, humour and
insight of Sarah Kane

Jen Heyes has brought about a show that is rich, thought provoking and deeply enriching

breathtakingly beautiful

Even more inventive than watching Ken Campbell’s sci-fi road shows in pubs during the early 80’s

Lily never resorts to cliches and irony the two tricks plied by most run-of-the-mill comedians. This is fringe theatre at its best

Excellently directed by Jen Heyes, this performance sped along aided by an accomplished physical performance

Treasured was concerned with class critique and the internationalism of its passenger list, a number of whose names were called during the performance in the manner of official mourning

Andrew Lancel as Epstein is terrific… As the boy, Will Finlason gracefully mingles brashness and compassion
