“Very simply, it is the story of the walk told by its perpetrator Paul. It recalls his experiences, both real and imagined, and throws in a lot of interesting facts to keep the pot boiling…I like a bit of history and I like good theatre and Beneath the Albion Sky delivered both in an entertaining and informative way…it was really good stuff which I enjoyed a lot.”

“Five men gather every week, after the restaurant in which they work closes for the night, to play poker. They battle with cards and with egos to see who’s going to go home with the pot at the end of the game. And when a stranger enters one night the stakes become even higher…A play of male camaraderie and competitiveness, Dealer’s Choice is a great study of life.”

“Gerard Logan has put together an entertaining and enlightening evening which gives us a greater insight into a complex and flawed genius. This is the reflective, introverted, often bitter Wilde who, if anything, is more interesting than the colourful image which he was happy to encourage…this was a compelling and revealing piece of theatre which I thoroughly enjoyed.”

Using classical mythology for its structural timbers it is a lament for the fall of Icarus, for the loss of innocence, for the crushing of aspiration and a dark, frightened gaze into a slightly tongue-in-cheek dystopian future in which the UK has become something of an American supermarket…Dean has a good and expressive voice, the sine qua non of the monologist and without too much bother could turn his show into something quite memorable!

“…Set at the beginning of the recession, the play does hold out the possibility of an interesting perspective on the subsequent effects of the cupidity and incompetence of the financial sector on people’s lives…all credit must be given for setting up such a venture in unlikely surroundings and providing a raw gem which given a little polishing could yet sparkle.”
Read More“…It is amazing. From the visual impact of the stage as I step into the auditorium, to the last bow as the house lights rise, there isn’t a sour note in the production. Joseph Heller adapted the novel for the stage himself, so although there are a fair few deviances from the novel, the play remains true to the tone and message of the book…I advise you to see this play.”
