PRESS & REVIEWS

Reviews 2011
'In a darkened site-specific venue, youthful Not Cricket Productions stages with great enthusiasm and promising dramatic skill a very tongue-in-cheek Victorian melodrama...This splendidly atmospheric and cleverly-staged spoof rollicks along under Kate Stephenson's strong direction, Jeannie Scott and Diana Kurakina convince as the ever-resourceful Bonnie and Sylvia, Jenna Al-Ansari truly menaces as Miss Sligharp, and Anthony Simpson-Pike gives a satisfying cameo as the goose-boy' - The Stage (read the full review here)
