Reviews
STARFISH – Previous performance in Brighton
Highly recommended - ‘We need this kind of theatre – theatre that doesn’t hammer us over the head with the obvious, but which uses humour to seduce us, drawing us in with an oblique view of the situation – a different perspective that deepens our understanding. (Brighton Fringe Review)
Previous shows:
★★★★★ Room Service (Bread and Roses)
“This crisp new work about AI is definitely A1… a pleasing Black Mirror vibe to Richard Fitchett’s sharply written piece… a clever study of humanity’s relationship with technology – in this case a virtual helper who anticipates what you want before you know it yourself. ” (Spy in the Stalls). Also commended for an OFFIE.
★★★★ Vinegar and Brown Paper – A Child’s Journey with Dickens (The Old Red Lion)
'With incredibly effective pace and fluidity and a grasp on expression that results in lines of near poetry, you can feel his passion for the art as you sit glued to the dialogue… we feel justified to say, as many before us have, a play by Richard Fitchett is a play you should see.' (West End Best Friend)
