Reviews

"The accomplishments of the cast and crew, in creating a highly engaging evening of theatre, are also well worth emphasising. After all, any team that can competently tackle a new script with difficult absurdist elements deserves our full attention. The Non-Surgeon’s Guide to the Appendectomy might ultimately play it too safe, but it leaves the audience with a lot to chew on. For all my reservations, it comes with an enthusiastic recommendation."
The Lumiere Reader

"There's an impressive script that's been thoroughly digested by good actors who are capably directed (Jessee Hilford). There's an excellent set and props (Christine Urquhart) and, I'm pleased to say, an ending which both surprises and pleases. There's good lighting (Nicole Astrella), excellent sound (Sinisha Milkovic), the actors are suitably dressed (again Christine Urquhart), and, all in all, it is quite a fun night.

It's a tricky space and I am thrilled to see the production team has had the courage to move away from the somewhat prosc-archy tradition that's grown up in the studio space. Working with the audience in an L shape is both interesting and effective."
