Reviews

Below are a handful of the reviews we have received over time....

"This is the Young Company at its exuberant, imaginative, creative best; and even better perhaps, as ‘Two' feels so personal. The audience is given a privileged view of the world as seen by 60 young people aged between 11 and 25."

Review of Two, Bristol Old Vic Young Company By Emily Thwaite

"Everything about this production was slick and thought-provoking. The script moved from original dialogue to a clever pastiche of famous wartime rhetoric."

..on Samson and Delilah

"The Bristol Old Vic's young company surprised me with its unique, inspiring and emotive play BRAVE. I didn't expect a young cast to deliver such a powerful, wise, inventive and thought-provoking performance."

Reviews from Suit Yourself magazine

"Due to phenomenal demand, extra performances have been laid on for Our Country's Good. Exploiting the studio theatre space to the full, this enthusiastic company of young people, led by professional directors, musicians and designers, sang, hummed, danced, drummed their fingers on the floor and, above all, acted their socks off to conjure a sense of the claustrophobia, desperation and hopelessness experienced by both the convicts and their Royal Marine guards."

The Guide

"from a brave, bold and ultimately beautiful production"

 Blood Wedding Review by contributor Robin Markwell

"Outside the Old Vic, pyjama'd children bedding down to a piano lullaby chorus is about the sweetest thing you could wish to see"

Venue Magazine on The Sleep Book

"The cast never let the quality slip.....Some of the most inventive staging you will find in many a long day"

Evening Post on Samson and Delilah

"Adrenaline soaked action throughout - best is Samson's last great fight with Lucifer, a balletic, kinetic, hold-your-breathe encounter"
