“The direction is excellent throughout, with scenes sharply blocked and the pace rarely letting up; the characters' interaction often seems to reflect the lines of Webster's powerful verse.” RemoteGoat

“'The Duchess of Malfi' is given an outlandishly innovative restaging in a production that retains the macabre hues of the sixteenth-century script in a vividly dream-like stage environment curiously trapping the spectator into its carnival-esque snare.” RemoteGoat

“Witness a masterfully innovative theatre company firing on all cylinders.” RemoteGoat

“The circus setting allows the actors to inhabit a world where normality is abnormal, where the line between sanity and madness is often overstepped and where chaos is the natural order.” Extra Extra

“Tilly Middleton [The Duchess] gives an impressive range of emotion in the role and portrays the fading starlet with a proud, passionate attitude.” Extra Extra

“Vaulting Ambition's production of The Duchess of Malfi with its high quality of acting, mesmerizing acrobatics, circus themed staging and costume design vividly bring to life a four hundred year old play, somersaulting it into the 21st century. “ Extra Extra

“…it is great to see Vaulting Ambition approach The Duchess of Malfi from a thoroughly original angle, one which allows a play of such length and ornate language to remain consistently entertaining.” Extra Extra

“…what can a company do to make this perennial favourite different? The answer, for writer/director Dan Horrigan, is Circus, and it is a successful one. There is a duality about the topsy-turvy theatre of circus - for children, a place of mystery and wonder; for adults, often, evoking an uncanny sense of the grotesque.” British Theatre Guide

“this production is timely, in vogue, and makes an ingenious use of props, lighting and at times quite chilling sound effects.” British Theatre Guide

“By placing the action amidst a close-knit circus community, we enter a world of heightened emotions, and gain a keen sense of an insular, oppressive and judgmental society, from which there is little hope of escape.” omhmusic.com

“The innovative staging is certainly integral to the overall effect.” omhmusic.com

A kaleidoscopic burst of chaotic energy that revolves around issues of immigration in the UK. Utilising strong imagery and some imaginative fluid transitions between scenes, this is a bold confident piece. Papatango.

The contradictions of modern society where "everything is for sale and nothing has any value" are at the heart of writer D. B. Horrigan's clever script. One Stop Arts

London: Four Corners One Heart is a collection of short “stories inspired by the streets of London and the people who play on them”, all pieces of new writing from fresh emerging talent and playing at Theatre 503.

London is a sprawling city filled with people of various colours, shapes, sizes, cultures, and languages, a melting pot of experiences. This showcase of new writing celebrates the fact that in all our differences as Londoners, our experiences are recognisable. The moments being explored are universal even if located in London; we are given glimpses into these Londoners lives, their politics and dramas, their dreams and their realities. Antoinette Stott The Public Reviews ****

So a great concept, both in providing a showcase for the more eclectic side of London which doesn’t always get a fair hearing on stages here, and in giving a platform for the work of young writers and the opportunity to stretch their creativity. And its message? In a city that keeps on changing and changing, it is the connections we make with the people in our lives that really matter. If you’re quick, you can catch this before it finishes on Saturday.
