Adelaide Theatre Guide

• “Watching Eustice and how he portrays the character of Rooster is fascinating: he draws you in, like he does the rest of the characters on stage … he takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotion …

Broadway World

• “The Guild can be justly proud of this production, but be sure to book quickly, before the rest of the season sell out.”
• … a fine cast  … an impressive production”
• “Brant Eustice is sensational as Rooster, commanding the stage from start to finish in a physically powerful performance …”
• “Eustice embraces the complexity of the character, ranging from often black humour, through anger and violence and to great poignancy.  This is one more of his remarkable performances.”
• “Adrian Barnes is perfectly cast in the role of the Professor”
• “Peter Davies injects plenty of fun into the role of Wesley”
• “The technical side of the production equals the performance, with an elaborate set that leaves one wondering how they managed to get that caravan into the intimate venue, and very effective lighting.  The performance runs like a Swiss watch.”

Stage Whispers

• “See the show just for his performance”.
• “Georgia Stockham is powerful and heart-rending …”
• “The partnership of Eustice and Robert Bell as Ginger is a duo made in heaven.
