Gathering stars...

Posted by Simon Bedford (Marketing & Touring Manager, Hoipolloi)

Two lovely five-star reviews for The Doubtful Guest rolled in last week during our run at Cambridge Arts Theatre.

The first, from Varsity (a Cambridge University student paper) had this to say:

"Hoipolloi’s Artistic Director writes ‘we hope that age won’t matter when watching The Doubtful Guest’, and the first thing you notice in the auditorium (which you are encouraged by the cast to consider) is that all sorts of people are there. This production has something to offer each one of them, and in that single, glorious idea lies Hoipolloi’s greatest strengths – the excitement to leave no stone unturned and the ability to lever them up from every angle."

The second, from Whatsonstage.com, was equally complimentary:

"Edward Gorey was someone about whom I knew very little; this production sends me straight to the library to find out more. Which is probably as high an accolade as you can bestow on a stage adaptation of a written work... Like all good folk legends and fairy stories, it’s for adults just as much as for youngsters. Gorey illustrated Edward Lear, and one can sense the affinity. Catch it if you can."
