News From the Seventh Floor

'Unbelievably brilliant, 100 years of human emotion in one glorious hour.'

'Sheer poetry'

'Superb, really moving, normal and everyday things never look the same in your shows.'

'One of those events that sear themselves on the memory.'

HOUSE

"Innovative yet able to reach the majority."

"It was so evocative, so compelling; the resonances live on for some considerable time afterwards."

"I was moved, something resonates."

"Evolutionary."

Mapping The Edge

'Still too stunned to comment, shall have to gestate the experience for a couple of days - marvellous!'

'A feat of wonder.'

'Truly breathtaking.'

'Amazing! Words fail but… Inspiring, I've never felt drama come so to life! Please please please continue.'

'An absolutely magical evening - Sheffield will never seem the same again.'

Mulgrave

'Completely unimaginable. Absolutely fantastic! It was like something you would dream about but couldn’t believe it could physically take place. No description can do it justice.'

'It was a moving and inspiring work, probably the best work of Art/performance I have seen for a number of years. Thank you. And, it was great to attend something that required me to think that wasn’t “dumbed down”.'

'Totally captivating. This was wonderful experience for my husband and me. We rarely go to the theatre and never to anything ”avant-garde”, we will now try to be more adventurous.'

'The care and attention given to every aspect of the production was stunning. The whole experience was total magic. Sets, timing, costumes, acting, concept, music, effects- All first class. Please come back to the North East.'

'Like "WOW!"? I want to experience it again - there was so much I can't have taken it all in (pebbles, things in trees, muddy china, so much delicious detail).'

'What an astonishing piece of work. Everyone's attention held for three hours. Fabulously professional. All the audience's needs considered while the dense and intense stories are played out. Terrific!'

'Here's a real cracker of a show, compelling, beguilingly original, beautifully written and acted …packed with startling moments and evocative images.'
Charles Spencer, The Daily Telegraph

'This is not theatre as we know it, but more of an archaeological dig or geographical survey whose time-span is from Adam and Eve to the present day.'
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian (HOUSE)

'the excellent experimental duo wilson+wilson'
Kate Bassett, Independent on Sunday (News From the Seventh Floor)

'This piece seals a new generation’s perceptions of a multi-ethnic, post-industrial society in a theatrical vocabulary for a new century.'
Timothy Ramsden, ReviewsGate.com (Mapping the Edge)

'…you will find a trace of yourself, too. For here, the great beauty, the sheer impudent trickery, is that in life, as well as theatre, we are audience and evidence, observers and specimens.'
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian (HOUSE)

'The script is a miracle of down-to-earth lyricism, the acting dazzling. Through three gripping stories the evening maps inner and outer lives and all the poetry of the heart.'……… An adventure as much as a piece of theatre.'
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian (Mapping the Edge)

'visually unforgettable, poignant and witty... Magic.'
Kate Bassett, Independent on Sunday (Mulgrave)

'The show is nothing but a pleasure... The is a real sense of having entered into a private and magical world, and of having seen, heard, smelled and felt something of the dark, secret, mysterious heart of the woods.'
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian (Mulgrave)

This thrilling event..... is a continuous pleasure. The eye is ravished by natural beauty, even as the brain debates man's relationship with it. Spectacular coups de théâtre, sudden twists in the narrative and a sly sense of humour are evident throughout.'
Charles Spencer, The Telegraph (Mulgrave)

'They (wilson+wilson) have become an important part of the new face of British theatre.'
Susannah Clapp, The Observer (Mulgrave)
