Praise for REM

praise for IVORIES

"Ivories is a unique and intriguing tragicomedy-thriller hybrid, with a fantastic team that has clearly put so much love and care into the production." ★★★★★ Lost in Theatreland

 

"This show brings horror, chiller with some touches of humour, but most of all what a great theatre show that we loved." ★★★ MoreishTV

"A playwright to keep an eye on for SURE! Ivories has it all: tears, trauma, sexual tension, ghosts, laughs & the understanding that nothing (and no one) is ever as they appear to me. The cast is stunning. The script is stunning." ★★★ Hailey Green

 

"An absolutely amazing show for fans of horror and LGBT+ theatre. The masterful writing along with the actors' chemistry kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time." ★★★ Grace Laughton

"Horror fans know the real deal when we see it, and Riley Elton McCarthy's tightly wound exploration of haunting grief is a refreshing case in point." ★★★ The Scotsman

praise for SOUTHERN BEDFELLOWS

"Southern Bedfellows has the integrity and raw passion of a resistance movement." ★★★★★ CPHPost

"I let myself be sucked into a story about finding one's identity, deep friendship and choosing oneself first. This experience made such an impression on me that I dreamed about gender identity all night." ★★★★★ POVInternational
