Reviews are in for WET BREADOur production of Wet Bread by Tom Glover at the King's Head has been getting some amazing reviews - here's a selection of what the critics are saying:
"The versatility Morag Sims shows is incredible and the ease at which she moves from one accent to the next is both impressive and utterly hilarious" 5 stars, Spy in the Stalls "Sims is certainly one of the best actors I have witnessed...I applaud her and her director Tom Latter for bringing Tom Glover’s marvellous script to life in a wonderfully comic, clever and beautiful way" Fairy Powered Productions "It's brilliantly written. Each character has its own voice despite being written as a one-woman show. It reaches the masses no matter what your political views and is an excellent example of modern political fringe theatre." 4 stars, The National Student "a brilliant comedy performance, [and the] finale is delivered with genuine sincerity .Wet Bread is a lot of fun, but it should also make us stop and think – not about what our political views are, but rather why we have them and how we wield them. The main character may in this case be a leftie, but there’s plenty of entertainment and education in this 60-minute production for audiences of all persuasions." Theatre Things Wet Bread comes to London this July
10th, 11th & 13th July 8pm
King's Head Theatre "A tour de farce with heart...wondrously acted" (Fringe Review) "Brilliantly written, directed and performed....the perfect remedy to all this political noise" (The Badger) After some great reviews and audience response from our Brighton Fringe run, Wet Bread transfers to the King's Head, Islington, for 3 nights only this July. Wet Bread at Brighton Fringe
9th - 14th May 2017
7.40pm @ Sweet Waterfront Adele can’t work out how the Tories are in power – everyone she knows voted Labour. And don’t get her started on Brexit. It would be much better if the rest of the country just agreed with her. Wielding placards and shouting slogans, she’s dedicated her life to putting things right. But the moral high ground is lonely with just your outrage for company. Tom Glover's new play is a biting satire on left-wing activism in a right-wing world. We're delighted to be taking the show to the Brighton Fringe this May - more details on booking tickets will be available nearer the time, but you can always join our mailing list to be kept in the loop about all Sheer Drop activites Script Reading Service...
