This is about the most exuberant, vibrant, downright enjoyable classical performance you'll have seen for years.

An unconvincing slice of family life with the emotional punch of a ropey sitcom.

Contemporary dance, physical theatre and performance are brought together to explore unintentional miscommunication and its consequences.

A gripping play that expertly blends fact and fiction.

Stevie, Hampstead Theatre Review
Endearing and witty but more like being a read a story in a lounge nicer than your own rather than a dynamic slice of theatre.
-
Boy in the Darkness, Blue Elephant Theatre – Review
Murphy is stunningly versatile in this performance, but the piece fails to fully grab the attention of the audience.
-
Lovesong of the Electric Bear, The Hope Theatre – Review
A clever, exciting and surprising play. Unusual and experimental yet still accessible and fun to watch.

Shrapnel: 34 Fragments of a Massacre, Arcola Theatre – Review
A strong, provocative play which challenges your understanding and perception of war.

Love and laughter are in the details of this comedy drama of Savile Row in the Fifties.
