Reviews of Silent Meat

“In short, the play was brilliant” - LondonTheatre1

Reviews of earlier work

"Vile Bodies was superb, it is the definition of amazing student theatre." (Anna Laycock, theatre blogger)

"The new translation, by Jones and Warwick’s seasoned and multitalented David Levesley (founded on an earlier version by John Aldis), hits the solar plexus of student humour… A Cenerentola just full of ideas, fizzing energy and incredibly funny (no pictures can do justice to its sheer explosive impact)." (Behind The Arras)
