Bold, brilliant work. An almost orgiastic visual experience.
THE STAGE (On Kingdom Come)
Director Gemma Brockis has an uncanny eye for the mundanely hilarious, and her understated use of physical comedy is extraordinarily effective. Eerie and hysterical. A show crafted so exquisitely it becomes high art.
THE STAGE (on An Execution)
I couldn't be prouder that the RSC have had the opportunity to collaborate on the visionary piece that is Kingdom Come. Its rigour, imagination, beauty and skill is a cocktail that is delighting and stimulating our audiences.
ERICA WHYMAN
A dream to work with.
KATHRYN HUNTER (as assistant director on Drive your Plow)
In the best possible way, totally mind-blowing.
