Critics embrace Laurence Fuller's West End debut
"Special mention should be given to Laurence Fuller, whose crazed doctor Pisano will make your skin crawl... This show could play to 1,500 at the Globe Theatre, and be a success. Someone get Dominic Dromgoole on the phone.” - Lalayn Baluch, The Stage
“A stand out performance for me was Pisano (Laurence Fuller) the only real madman of the piece, who ironically is meant to be the doctor responsible for bringing sanity back to the apparent ’Looney’s’ of the madhouse. His crazy eyes, modern ad lib, and sometimes disturbing interaction with both his fellow actors and the audience had me laughing out loud throughout.” - **** Jenni Rymer, The Public Reviews
“The piece’s true madman Pisano – well realised by goosebump-inducing Laurence Fuller” - **** Jeremy Williams, Spoonfed
"Laurence Fuller is a faultless Pisano" - Lucy Powell, Time Out **** (Critics choice and Show of the week)
“This is a funny, bouncy play performed with enthusiasm and gusto” **** Louise Gooding, What’s On Stage
“Lope himself once wrote that "tragedy mixed with comedy – Terence with Seneca – will cause much delight" *** Michael Billington, The Gaurdian
“The talented cast weave through misunderstanding and intrigue to an apparently unsatisfying ending, which is resolved in a way that had the entire theatre in stitches." - The Audience Club |
