‘Like a Molotov cocktail with the zing and the bite of a Martini chaser - funny, bright, touching, merciless.’
What’s On Stage
‘Classy stuff... unfailingly elegant... blazingly powerful.’
The Scotsman
‘Quietly exquisite . . . political anger with a human face... chock-full of wisdom and experience.’
The Herald
'There are few opportunities to hear the work of a living poet performed on stage by someone else. The poems in the show have been selected and directed by Roy Hutchins and Heathcote Williams. They tell of life and death, of cats and dogs and bicycles. The delivery is lively and entertaining and Hutchins threads in comical tales and anecdotes between them. While the poems are all thought provoking, a few stand out as clear favorites. An Angel You Know is one of them and is a beautiful piece about death that allows a new perspective on it. The grand finale, Counting the Cats in Zanzibar, is also brilliant.... Every poem is unique and the collaboration between Roy Hutchins and Heathcote Williams is special. Long may it last.... see this show.'
