“It was good because I realised that not everyone hates me."

“Silly, absurd and stupid”

"The inaugural Festival of Live Art (FOLA) is testament to this growing audience."

"The show is also really silly and fun and it’s just sort of like an appreciation of theatre."

"It’s about two middle-aged, overweight strangers. She’s hiding this really crippling credit card debt and he’s hiding an addiction to pornography."

"I will act till the day I stop breathing."

We are made all too aware that these teenagers understand what is wrong with the world. The adult audience is told, “You are not an example; you’re a warning.”

Intelligently directed, captivatingly designed, perfectly cast and superbly performed.

I felt myself becoming distanced from the work. It was most effective when it moved further from its conventional narrative structures into visceral displays of the psychotic performativity.

“First of all what made me want to do it: It’s such strong writing. I was laughing off the page reading it in my bedroom and then I was weeping at the end."

A good one for fans of musical theatre.

Happiness Is A Bedside Table was insightful, quirky and ultimately uplifting. Highly recommended.
