Reviews

Davey Anderson's writing - urgent, real yet heightened - comes straight from the mould of Mark O'Rowe or Enda Walsh.
*What’s On Stage*

a dazzling display of current small-scale theatre technique, delivered with outstanding wit and flair.
*The Scotsman*

ThickSkin Theatre makes a triumphant return to the Fringe... with another high octane, physically driven winner with a simply affecting message
*Edinburgh Guide*

All you really need to know is that this show is amazing... The closest thing to magical perfection I've ever seen
*ThreeWeeks*

A small but persuasive package that has real energy and excitement.
*Guardian*

Davey Anderson's short, sharp shocker … it has a spiky edginess (on Blackout)
