Brian Donaldson, The List, 9th November 2018Don Quixote review
Don Quixote is a production that manages to immerse the audience in more ways than one, it's an uproariously funny and satisfyingly entertaining production, which is sure to entice audiences back again, as it already has done with its terrific lead cast.
Theatre Weekly, 9th November 2018Don Quixote review
Unfortunately, despite some excellent performances, great staging and a strong ensemble, the show never quite ignites, although the fire alarm going off may suggest otherwise! This situation was handled superbly by Hound and actually added to the humour of the evening.
Emma Heath, West End Wilma, 9th November 2018Interview: Julia Davis
Experiencing Julia Davis's brand of British comedy is like getting into a very hot bath: At first, the water is so warm as to be uncomfortable, scalding, and prickly, so much so that you might even think, Why am I doing this? But give it just a bit longer, and it feels great, nourishing, and even like you're doing something for your health. (And then, eventually, you must get out.)
