'Innovative in its use of mime, physical action and puppetry. Icon Theatre here shows us how important our imaginations are in creating and responding to theatre.' - Lucy Rix, Worcester News - see full review here
The Canterbury Tales '... bold, inventive, funny and immensely absorbing. Their many costume changes were imaginative, their energy astonishing and their ability to convey so much using so little gave the play its strength. Congratulations to the cast, director Nancy Hirst and the production team for creating such an innovative and hugely enjoyable piece.' - Annette Kean, Herald Eastbourne '... it is a joy to see a company like Icon Theatre remind us that people make theatre and that young performers who can act, sing, dance, tumble and mime are as exciting as the most spectacular pyrotechnics.' - Steve Evans, Evesham Journal 'These players were great in tragedy or comedy. The three young and talented actors deserve much praise. Yasmin Gurreeboo, Philip Oakland and Patrick Taggart never lagged. Nancy Hirst's ingenious staging also impressed and Richard Cross' musical interludes created just the right ambience.' - Donald Hollins, Gloucestershire Echo 'An entertaining introduction to Chaucer's timeless tales of human weakness, the power of love, and the folly of people failing to practice what they preach'. - Sarah Singleton, Wiltshire Gazette
The Men's Room 'The cast do a fine job in bringing James' caustic dialogue to comic life, and director Nancy Hirst makes inventive use of basic set and props, with wooden blocks acting as bars, urinals and changing rooms. Inventive, funny and interesting.' 'One moment I was laughing, the next minute agonising over the anguish of a character... Male or female, I recommend a visit to The Men's Room.' - Christine van Emst, Croydon Guardian
