Reviews
A virtuoso display of wry humour and freewheeling musical invention ... a surprisingly life-asserting finale. (on Orpheus in the Record Shop) * Times *
What this rising star does with his larynx is a wonder [...] With the added force of the Opera North orchestra (brass, wind, harp, more besides), it sends pleasing shivers down the spine. (on Orpheus in the Record Shop) * Telegraph *
Testament is a force of nature * A Younger Theatre *
