Reviews
- The Stage | John Thaxter | Friday, September 23, 2005
"Carefully researched, it makes for a tough evening of theatre . . ."
- The British Theatre Guide | Philip Fisher | 2005
"There are difficulties as is inevitable when politics intrude into real life and class and religious divisions come to the fore. Hard Left Politicians like Jack Ross and Arthur Barraclough (Ewan Stewart and Trevor Cooper) will never change and so others must be promoted."
- CurtainUp | Lizzie Loveridge | September 2005
"Playing with Fire, although topical, well intentioned and with plenty of moments which made me smile, fails really to ignite as a dramatic vehicle."
