The three actors bounced off one another with superb chemistry and pace moving the story along slickly and built the comedy tenfold. A fantastic production, Cuttings is a modern comedy for a modern audience and it is a revelation

Every inch of the small space of The Hope is used well, with attention to detail and the intimacy really does make the audience feel part of the story

Rob Ellis directs the play and gives it a snappy and fresh pace that keeps in line with the millennial feel of the text.
— ★★★★ Broadway World
Under Rob Ellis’s direction, the play moves in real time, leading up to the point of Arthur’s arrival. This constant looming visit and the perpetual ringing and buzzing of phones lend the play a sense of urgency, with the three actresses each moving franticly around the stage, their seriousness clashing beautifully with the pink, sparkly and neon-covered PR office created by Caitlin Abbott

Relish Theatre have been producing work in London for a while now having formerly been a Norfolk-based company. Cuttings is a sign of more good things to come if they can maintain this standard

Heroic deeds, epic duels and a lavish masquerade ball all come to life in a huge, outdoor adventure for all the family.

It’s 1626 and a young d’Artagnan sets out for Paris, determined to join the King’s Musketeers. There’s just one problem, women aren’t allowed. Undaunted, our heroine disguises herself as a man and manages to befriend the legendary Musketeer trio Athos, Aramis and Porthos.

The four fast friends are soon caught up in deadly plot involving the Queen, twelve diamonds studs and the safety of the entire French state. Will this mean war with England? Will all four of our heroes survive? And will anyone discover d’Artagnan’s secret?

Rob Ellis’ energetic direction makes good use of the Hope Theatre’s small performance space, the trio’s stalking of the space mimics the frenetic pace of their thought processes
— The Stage
Rob Ellis’ production starts at a run and rarely pauses for breath during the 75 minutes that follow. The same goes for the actors, and Joan Potter, Natasha Patel and Maisie Preston never miss a beat as the three women hilariously brainstorm and bicker their way in real time through a hectic Monday morning
