Press Reviews

"Brilliant…so fantastically tough and tender that it often feels as if someone has got you in a painful arm-lock, only to give you the sweetest, softest kiss.” —The Times (London). ”It's about love, actually. The fact that it's a homosexual and not heterosexual relationship doesn't make it any less dramatic or moving.“ —Croydon Advertiser (London). ”The first half of BLOWING WHISTLES is sharp and funny, bristling with snappy one-liners and insightful digs at contemporary gay culture…a funny, sexy and ultimately thought-provoking experience.“ —Rainbow Network (London). ”I was blown away. This is possibly the most moving and engrossing gay play since Beautiful Thing.“ —Boyz (London). ”Full marks…a refreshingly comic take on being gay and romantic.“ —The Telegraph (UK). ”Razor sharp…it cries out for a West End transfer."
