FRITZ & MATLOCK
Offies nominated and shortlisted for the Brighton Fringe Award for Excellence.
‘Jess Millward’s lithe direction keeps pace with the changes in tone as the drama unfolds’
'Fritz & Matlock is exceptional in form, style, and tone, with an effervescent personality and strong focus from start to finish.'
The Reviews Hub ★★★★★
'Millward’s direction embellishes the spoken text with subtle movement and body language of the performers, who use it to effectively shift between the present action and past flashbacks.'
​
'Artfully crafted exchanges allow the tension to build, higher and higher, up until the final minutes, when the drama reaches a breaking point.'
Everything Theatre - ★★★★
​
'For me this was character acting at its best; we watch the flatmates’ relationship being subverted and changed in real time. That’s hard enough in a full-length play but brilliantly achieved in an hour here. Excellent theatre.'
