David Roy

Terrific play about Vidal and Buckley going head to head on 1960’s US TV. What seems like a unlikely material proved engaging, funny, and incredibly well acted. And also challenging, prescient, and engaging the brain. A real treat.Read more →

Andrea Ma

Entertaining and nuanced rendition of two leading public intellectuals and their role in planting the seeds for today’s culture wars. Great array of side characters describing 1960s events.Read more →

Stuart King

The gladiatorial cut and **** is initially delivered with panache and politesse until the mild mannered debates descend into a cacophony of acidic antagonism and one particularly memorable on-air meltdown causing studio executives to regret ever bringing the pair together… that is, until they saw the record-breaking ratings figures. Max Spielbichler’s composite video projections, add context to the on-stage vitriol and the play is sure to delight those who prefer their theatrical entertainments delivered with an unwholesome spoonfulRead more →

Tom Langdale

Really inventively staged so that even in the balcony seats we had a great view. Isherwood and Quinto were amazing!Read more →

Very entertaining with two strong leads, Zachary Quinto particularly good as the waspish Vidal. Also interesting to learn something of the story behind the origin of the format. The semi-split staging works well and there’s good use of historical footage to supplement the script.Read more →
