Brilliant Adventures Reviews

Sizzling exuberance and imagination -- Clare Brennan * Observer *
Remarkable young writing talent ... there is a convincing tang of lived experience in the evocation of a practically lawless pocket of the north-east -- Alfred Hickling * Guardian *
Foul-mouthed and violent and very funny with it, this world premiere Bruntwood Prize-winner is a hugely entertaining black comedy sci-fi thriller and there arent many of those around ... a rollercoaster of a play that packs one surprise after another ... the writing is extremely assured, very mature, highly inventive, packed with good lines and brilliantly plotted -- Alan Hulme * Manchester Theatre Awards *
Any really great play breaks stereotypes ... this takes them apart. -- Charlotte Keatley * BBC Front Row *
Alistair McDowall's fascinating debut - which won a Judges Award in the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting in 2011 - plays by its own rules... note the name Alistair McDowall. Hes a writer to watch. -- Dominic Maxwell * The Times *
