Praise for Musik |
"Neil Fleming's adaptation is silky clever. Deborah Bruce's production combines
imagination and vivid imagery with something more restrained. It has an admirable
choked quality, like a cry of despair suppressed."
Lynn Gardner, The Guardian
|
"Funny, disturbing and gripping. Deborah Bruce's production is pacy and sharply
intelligent. A welcome rediscovery, and warmly recommended."
Robert Hanks, The Independent
|
"A piece of great historical interest and odd, outré distinction.
Plenty of punchy acting. Well worth a look."
- Benedict Nightingale, The Times
|
"A gripping evening. Neil Fleming’s skilful adaptation of a difficult,
challenging play."
Rachel Halliburton, Time Out
|
“A spellbinding performance. The characters are suffocated by a lack of moral
oxygen and you’re left to draw your own conclusions without too much sympathy
getting in the way.”
John Peter, Sunday Times
|
"Wedekind's Musik, translated and considerably overhauled by Neil Fleming,
emerges in Deborah Bruce's sensitive, expressionistic, terrifically acted production
as a bracingly modern study of hypocrisy, the bourgeoisie, artistic exploitation
with a good old swipe at the press along the way. Fascinating stuff." Carole
Woddis, WhatsonStage.com

“Neil Fleming’s translation and sophisticated adaptation of Frank Wedekind’s
play breathes new life into the sad saga of Klara Hühnerwadel and hurls it
vigorously into the modern arena.”
