that showcases some of the next wave of musical theatre talent.' Musical Theatre Review on Bel-Ami |
'Chris Loveless' direction and Anthony Whiteman's
choreography are fluid and imaginative... Most heartening is that their production shows a
clear understanding of what is uniquely possible in the art form of musical theatre.' The Public Reviews on Bel-Ami |

a powerful piece of theatre
impeccable acting
genuinely moving one moment and darkly funny the next, this is a
great way to round off your Festival day.' |

theatre... director Chris Loveless captures the milieu perfectly. A canny West End
producer could do far worse than to tweak this fine show for a transfer.'![]() |

whispering servants and the lovers that never come to be. It is a gem
a jewel
that shines its light and lingers on. Blanche Marvin on The Remains of the Day |

Loveless.' Plays International on Ray Collins Dies On Stage |
'Crisp direction and therapeutic humour.'![]() |

horribly wrong, but the Fallen Angel Theatre Company have managed to pull off an
entertaining evening in this well produced version of the gothic classic... A night of
bloody good fun.'![]() |
'Chris Loveless' staging is much better than merely
acceptable: in fact, it's a fresh, gripping and witty mini-epic.'![]() |
