"It’s an incredible turn from Backway who brings a forensic intensity to this character, which is horribly spellbinding to witness. My jaw dropped. I blinked back a tear." From my review of Lifers at @swkplay for @NorthWestEnd northwestend.com/lifers-southwa…

Lifers - Southwark Playhouse Borough "Whilst the production does not hide away from the reality of prisoners’ crimes and life on the inside and isn’t for the faint-hearted, the narrative is leavened with a fair sprinkling of dark humour and lucid poignancy that serve to accentuate the gripping and compelling nature of this play. An absorbing and rewarding night at the theatre." londontheatre1.com/reviews/lifers…

Just reviewed Lifers @swkplay - Smartly directed by @Esther_Baker and written by @EvanPlacey, it casts an unflinching eye at the treatment of prisoners in the last stages of life. Runs until 25 October...well worth seeing.

REVIEW: Lifers ★★★★ "The interplay between warm light and hostile shadows guides us through these transitions effortlessly." #LondonFringe broadwaybaby.com/shows/lifers/8…

Saw the brilliant Lifers by Evan Placey at @swkplay last night. Directed by Esther Baker & serving a very talented cast, the play looks at the UK prison system & unsurprisingly, finds a grim mess. It's funny, twisty, nuanced and moving. Top notch theatre. Highly recommended.

Caught a preview of Lifers @swkplay. I don't know if I'll get to see the mighty Peter Wight play Lear but this Lear-of-sorts is damn close. Blisteringly complex play with a fierce cast and production. As to be expected from the also mighty @Synergy_Theatre.
