WAITING FOR ALICE; RAVENS AND WRITING DESKS
★★★★ Bristol Theatre Review ‘The story of Wonderland glitteringly up to date with – most memorably – a short moment of beat-boxing-style jam-making from Callum Brodie as Hare.’
★★★★ Broadway Baby ‘the company have excellently captured the sort of clean, nonsensical nursery wit beloved of Lear et al.’ ‘the whole feel of the piece is genuinely charming.’
The Stage ” a tremendous ensemble”
★★★★ The Scotsman “anybody would enjoy the clever characterisation and fine performances from the ensemble cast”

THE HANDLEBARDS - A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, THE COMEDY OF ERRORS, HAMLET, MACBETH, ROMEO AND JULIET, TWELFTH NIGHT
OnceAWeekTheatre ‘Founder members Callum Brodie and Tom Dixon are especially assured, the former stealing the show as both Puck and Hermia.’
★★★★ The Stage ‘Gloriously eccentric and very funny Shakespearean tomfoolery’
Shakespeare Standard ‘fast-paced, fun and energetic
Paul Clayton (Peep show, Doctor Who, RSC, Chairman - Actors Centre) ‘My mind is a bit blown. It must be like what people saw when they saw these plays for the first time. We have roared with laughter, I have wiped tears from my eyes, its magic.’
Toby Sedgwick (Director of Movement ‘2012 Olympics,’ ‘War Horse’ ’39 Steps’ Danny Boyle's ‘Frankenstein’) ‘Its very refreshing, you don’t see that that often. They have a very good rapport with the audience’
Theo Bosanquet (Editor and critic ‘Time Out, Curtain Call, WhatsOnStage) ' I absolutely love the HandleBards. They really communicate the fun of Shakespeare, the sense of playfulness, the unpredictability, and everything that is should be about.'
WhatsOnStage ★★★★‘High octane back to basics storytelling in the best way’
Broadway Baby ★★★★★ 'It’s a stroke of genius’
Edinburgh Spotlight ★★★★ ‘Callum Brodie enlarging believable performance to fine comic affect’
