'Brilliantly bizarre' 'Excellent
direction from Chris Loveless... this musical deserves a bigger
stage.' |
'Chris
Loveless provides the clever direction.' |
'A
thrilling, bold and wickedly amoral night out that showcases some
of the next wave of musical theatre talent.' |
'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.' |
'An
unrelentingly grim experience, but one which retains a sense of
hope in the human spirit. Director Chris Loveless gets the
balance just right.' |
'The
fluid direction ensures that every member of the audience is
drawn into the intense drama.' |
'Thoughtful,
compassionate and fascinating... superbly acted… richly
absorbing.' |
'Compelling…
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.' |
'A
sophisticated piece of musical 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.' |
'The
staging is inventive, abounding with whispering servants and the
lovers that never come to be. It is a gem… a jewel…
that shines its light and lingers on.’ |
'Chris
Loveless' direction delivers a gripping evening's
entertainment.' |
'The
staging and pace of the play are brilliantly eerie… An
atmospheric, unsparing and at times unsettlingly funny
evening.' |
'This
electrifying production… the truly inspired direction of
Chris Loveless… resonates long after plangent music has
ebbed from the stage.' |
'This great
production.' |
'Convincing
acting, under Chris Loveless' direction, makes us believe in the
agonising tension, hope and despair of life at the margins.' |
'Funny,
moving, neatly constructed and superbly performed.' |
'Directed
with devastating insight and astounding pace by Chris
Loveless.' |
'Crisp
direction and therapeutic humour.' |
'A
musical version of Dracula could have gone 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.' |
