'The Open Couple' reviews

If you want laughs and a few naughty sniggers then The Open Couple is for you. After seeing the review The List had given this play (****) I was intrigued but slightly sceptical. However, the show was outstanding: although the set is minimal and the actors are playing well out of their playing range I was swept away by the chemistry and charisma behind the two performers which was also supported by the superb text. Snee's direction is innovative and original taking the audience on a direct journey of despair, passion and jealousy. Although perhaps not suitable for younger children, this show caters for everyones ones sense of humour: from physical to subtle and sarcastic. All in all a genuinely fun show.

well what a refreshing hour! As a frequent visitor to the festival, I am no stranger to paying over the odds for shows claiming to be the best thing on at the festival. After Reading the 4* review in the list I decided to give this show a try and actors Stuart Brennan and Jennifer Dean delivered an extremely entertaining hour of boundless energy and relentless pace, thank you for this engaging hour of political comedy.

***** I went to see this show today after reading a four star review in The List, and I was not disappointed. The show was refreshing and fun with the two actors working relentlessly, keeping me smiling through-out. The well-known playwright delivers an exciting and intelligent script, which is expertly executed by the cast. My husband and I particularly enjoyed the reality that perfectly reflected the common arguments of our marriage, making this comedy a definite a must-see at this years festival. Well done.

A consummate performance, with all the potential to be a truly classic interpretation. Go and book tickets I say.
