Reviews
“This production is quite outstanding in every department… a real treat for the discerning theatre goer… another triumph for KickstArt.”
Patrick Leeman, The Mercury
“All credit to the whole cast for keeping the wit flowing at a cracking pace… Once again, KickstArt, this time in the capable hands of Steven Stead, is fulfilling its stated aim of bringing top contemporary international theatre to local audiences. This is one to enjoy”
Margaret von Klemperer, The Witness
“Greg King and Steven Stead’s KickstArt company has once again struck another rich vein of gold with their latest production, Boston Marriage…directed with great imagination by Stead and with an exquisitely furnished room by King…this is no slapstick comedy, although it bristles with humour.”
Tommy Ballantine, Sunday Tribune
