Reviews

For'Philistines', "first-rate" (FT), "outstanding" (Time Out), "excellently acted ensemble production" (Telegraph).

For 'Loyalties','spot-on'.(Michael Billington in the Guardian.)

For'The Beaver Coat' 'scrupulously rendered with a light comic touch.' (Time Out)

For 'Christie in Love'. "terrific actors..Mike Aherne (is a)manic cop a la Dario Fo".

For 'Up Out O' The Sea'. 'Dolphie(Mike Aherne)is terrific, conjuring up a real sense of coast, community, lifeboat crew.” (Libby Purves, The Times)

The Stage said, “The confident, naturalistic stage prescence of Mike Aherne...gives the production...ballast.
