Reviews
A very funny but outrageous comedy - makes you laugh then wonder whether you should have. * Financial Times on England People Very Nice *
Delicious - Bean's writing scintillates. Pulsing with shrewd humour, it's risque and linguistically rich * Evening Standard on The Heretic *
Very funny, full of sharp contrasts between grim hilarity and gut-wrenching reversals. * The Stage on The Big Fellah *
Features some of his funniest one-liners to-date. It might also be the most despairing piece about modern Britain [Bean] has yet written. * The Telegraph on Pub Quiz is Life *
Awards
Joint winner of Evening Standard Theatre Awards: Best Play 2011.
