Actor Jed Murray makes a convincing and smarmy Johnny, though delivery is occasionally hesitant. Director Andy Crook adds pace and momentum to this static piece, and he pushes the outrageous concept to a tasty conclusion with great commitment.

The Arts Review

There were genuine nuggets to be had amidst the silt and soil. The satirical And the winner is… by Susan Lynch, directed by Andy Crook, saw a brilliant Anto Seery eviscerate right wing notions of nationalism for a game show in the future, the recital of The Noble Call a trace of pure genius.

If you had to give an award, top prize would have to go to Pricks by Patrick O'Sullivan, performed brilliantly by Eric O'Brien, Jed Murray, Thúy Vine O'Sullivan and O'Sullivan himself. A tale that got right to the heart of the matter with superb simplicity and a beautiful twist, sensitively directed by Andy Crook.

The Arts Review

Crook elicits strong performances from Darina Gallagher, Emily Healy, Jed Murray, Eoin O'Sullivan and Ruairí Lenaghan . . . a director at the top of his game.
