'A Red Threatening Sky' Reviews
"Loose your mind to love" - A Red Threatening Sky - Five Star Review - Gabriella Apicella
"The detail and beauty of this work is spellbinding, so that at times one loses all sense of where the performance begins and the truth ends, so that at times one loses all sense of where the performance begins and the truth ends. Laid open with endless tunnels and chambers to be explored and secrets to be discovered, the piece offers much to experience, at times invoking pity, at others joy, and occasionally fear, depending on how far you let your curiosity take you. Each person coming to this piece will leave having experienced it differently - the more open you are to the enchantment within it, the more deeply you will be immersed. Not too dissimilar to love itself! And like love, its memory will stay with you long after it has ended. This is not simply a performance; it is an experience not to be missed."

'A Red Threatening Sky' Review by Howard Loxton, British Theatre Guide
Anyone who has lived at all will find moments that will be personally painful but this is a fascinating experience and it is performed with such reality by the actors that it is totally absorbing, though sometimes played with an intimacy that you must strain to hear, and then there is the added engagement of chasing after or seeking out new episodes. When Harry meets the missing Pearl (Lucy Allin) will he recognize her, and will you? When you do you will probably realise that you've in fact already met her. Is Harry innocent or guilty? Is Ray (Jamie Richards) the sadistic tool of Mr Qyain or trying to help her? The questions are not so much about them as about you."
