Reviews of The Bad One
After a triumphant opening at the Birmingham Rep with four sell-out shows and lovely warm responses, The Bad One is off on tour. For your chance to catch one of the remaining performances check out the tour schedule. We’ve had some great reviews so far, here’s the pick:
” Something of a gothic tour-de-force” ***
“With Connolly`s inimitable stage prescence complemented by good performances from Susie Riddell, Laurence Saunders and Heather Pilkington, and neat staging under Terina Talbot`s direction, it should be a good ambassador for Birmingham theatre “
Terry Grimley, Birmingham Post 27 sept 2008

“The Bad One will have your brain ticking long after the paid performance; a sure sign that this production has real legs “. ****

Are we sitting comfortably ?
“Pants and naked bottoms have their place but I felt a little short changed by having my expectations raised by some delightful and witty humour in the first few minutes, to be disapointed as it slipped all too easily to excessive coarse humaour.
The rest of the audience, on the other hand , only roared louder and louder with each successive joke “

Two Sides To The Story
“This may be a piece of mysterious whimsy, but it is rooted in the real world , with plenty of insight into how the two sides of the brain work together and the nature of duality ”

Dark and sinister and deliciously funny
“A glorious resolution which is both moving and symbolic in equal measure”
“This is a play with a serious edge packaged with great humour and panache… Like a strong cup of tea with five sugars, The Bad One goes down a treat!”
Nice review there from Kevin Quarmby Take a look at the full review on his website. The question is, is Laurence really that sleazy? We’re not so sure!
