“Robust, inventive promenade performance at its best”

The Times

“Hydrocracker is a company that professes to “want more for our audiences than to sit in the dark and watch”. This robust, inventive promenade performance of Joe Orton’s farce, presented as part of the Brighton Festival, demonstrates how true Hydrocracker is to its words.”

— — Donald Hutera, The Times

"The Brighton Festival has developed a reputation for innovative, site-specific work, and this version of Joe Orton’s comedy about a dictatorial holiday camp owner and his rebellious employees has the wonderful setting of Brighton’s surviving pleasure pier.”
