\u201cA wonderfully grounded and understated performance keeps this show relatable.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

\u201cA good debut from this talented troupe, though I don\u2019t doubt for a second that there is more to come from Front Foot Theatre.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

\u201cBrilliant and compelling performances from the lead actors, and the scenic backdrop effectively captures the simplicity and stillness of the natural setting.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
THE SEAGULL <\/strong>Everything Theatre<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
<\/div>

“The small space makes the explosive lead performance of Kim Hardy all the more poignant. In such close quarters, it is impossible not to feel real sympathy for a man whose promising life is falling apart, while his fierce outbursts leave the audience touched, feeling almost awkward to be sharing such moments of vulnerability.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

“Julia Papp, in particular, delivers a simultaneously disturbing and moving performance. Her childish, out-of-place hope stands out as a beacon which the audience can\u2019t help but cling to as the gloom of the Russian countryside encroaches.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
THE SEAGULL<\/strong>Urban Times<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

“No one better keeps the audience engaged than old Uncle Sorin (Stephen Christos) who steals the show with a masterclass in comic timing.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

“Louise Templeton delivers probably the strongest performance as the ageing actress, who must convince herself and her audience that she is as young as she looks and acts.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
THE SEAGULL<\/strong>Atomies<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

“James Tweedy is promising in the small role of Medvedenko, reacting excellently to Masha\u2019s casual slights.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
THE SEAGULL<\/strong>One Stop Arts<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n
<\/div>

“Amongst the main roles the stand out success was the gloriously natural performance of Louise Templeton as Arkadina \u2013 she delivered the line where she tells Konstantin that Nina will love him again after she\u2019s taken Trigorin away as if she had no conception of how insulting this was to him.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

“Overall the cast conveyed the emotions and insecurities of these complex characters truthfully and passionately. Their approach to the work further demonstrates the desire for honesty and freedom in love and art, which can be seen as the key concerns in The Seagull.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

“We get a lot of resentment in Mary-Ann Cafferkey\u2019s Claire. But her excellent performance (another well-deserved Offie nomination) is also full of humour with references to her \u2018organic\u2019 New York life with fianc\u00e9 Mitch, unseen but ever-present in her words, being perfectly unbearable.

“casting Richard is no easy feat and Kim Hardy really is perfect in the role. Determined when talking to the audience, obsequious when he needs to be.

“Lawrence Carmichael, who demonstrates a clear and elaborate vision of what could be considered Shakespeare\u2019s most blood-drenched tragedy. His confidence and inspired understanding of the work allows him not only to breathe new life into several familiar scenes but also to draw out some of their unexpected comedic potential.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

“Having seen another commercial production of the same play not long ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself and the rest of the audience so visibly amused by the nuanced irony with which Carmichael interpreted the script, which was unseen in my previous experience.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

THE SEAGULL<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cCan\u2019t recommend this enough, thoroughly absorbing and superbly acted.\u201d \u2013 John Kelley<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI never have seen anything quite like it. Although I confess that it was my first time seeing \u2018The Seagull\u2019 I can\u2019t help but think that they made the long speeches much more believable and a joy to watch. You have to remember that Chekhov wrote this a long time ago and my generation is very much about the visual, having been given iPhones and sitting in front of t.v. What this play does is engages you visually and keeps you hooked by the acting which was a juggernaut, making me wonder if they had assembled the best actors they could find or if all of their productions were like this. I honestly thought it was magnificent and I\u2019m looking forward to anything else they do.” – Chris Malle<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201d I was totally drawn into the story \u2013 the actors were brilliant to watch and to listen to. I also thought the costumes were well done, subtle and classically perfect for this piece. I would recommend anyone wanting to see actors of this calibre to go see this before it draws to a close.\u201d \u00a0– Cat<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI would highly recommend this beautifully done play \u2013 a mind-blowing performance of this Chekhov\u2019s masterpiece. The atmosphere was absorbing, the emotions, embedded in the speech of the actors, were real and inspiring! A must-see play!\u201d \u00a0– Dilyana<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI saw this play on Tuesday and I thought it was brilliant. It is refreshing to see acting that is actually believable, and a joy and a relief to not be forced to watch the normal fake performances and big booming I can project voices that seem to get all the great reviews.This is a stunning production and I thought the acting was brilliant! As far as The Meisner aspect of this production, I use this technique myself and that was why I was excited to go and watch it. I was not disappointed! Anyone who is interested in this technique should go and see this show. This is a real chance to see some wonderful performances from a group of exciting actors.\u201d \u00a0– Caroline Farrington<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Front Foot Theatre have achieved something rather special with their production of \u201cProof\u201d in West London\u2019s Tabard Theatre. The play, written with meticulous care and craft by award-winning David Auburn, is richly served by a masterclass in performing.To see all four actors inhabit and portray the levels of complexity is a real treat. They fall under the audience microscope, living cells wriggling, struggling, converging and separating as they simply try to find the answers to the wrong questions. Each actor commits wholeheartedly to their task effortlessly (they trick us, obviously as so much effort is behind this production). Directed seamlessly with a pace that implicates the audience into becoming voyeurs \u201cProof\u201d proves itself as a play and as a production. Congratulations to everyone, the whole team, on this remarkable work.” Mike Elliston<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
