Additional information
PRESS Vicky Jones's deft production is full of lovely little touches and there is a wonderful quality of stillness to much of the action. Fiona Mountford, Evening Standard on MYDIDAE
A curiously magical spectacle. Vicky Jones's production is so real there are moments you feel embarrassed to be present. Robert Shore, Metro on MYDIDAE
In Vicky Jones's immaculate production, performances [are] of the highest calibre. Whatsonstage on MYDIDAE
Jones treads skilfully through this structural and tonal labyrinth, all the more admirably for having to compact it on to such a small stage. Ian Shuttleworth, Financial Times on THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY at the Finborough
DryFight was perfect festival fare - loud, bawdy, in-yer-face and more than a little bit dirty. My highlight. Whatsonstage on DRYFIGHT at Latitude.
Vicky Jones’s steely production. Gets you by the neck and gives you a jolly good shake. Lyn Gardner, Guardian on THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY
Of all the ADD-friendly shows at the festival, this one takes the prize. I also enjoyed it so much I'm sure I ruptured something. Ingeniously simple. British Theatre Guide on DRYFIGHT
A fascinating production. Carries the baton for innovative site-specific theatre. FEST Magazine on THE TOUR GUIDE
One of the most surprising and memorable shows at this year's Fringe. Alice Jones, The Independent on THE TOUR GUIDE
The excellent DryWrite have established themselves with some cleverly themed and curated events. At their best they form a crucial dialogue between artists and allow a new sense of the possible. The success that a number of their writers are now starting to enjoy in mainstream theatres with work that remains formally innovative is an early testament to the excellence of the United Agents | 12-26 Lexington Street London W1F OLE | T +44 (0) 20 3214 0800 | F +44 (0) 20 3214 0801 | E [email protected] concept.
