The Twilight Zone Reviews
The energy, ambition and attainment of this terrific adaptation of stories from the eponymous classic 1960s American television series... will delight fans of the original and welcome in newcomers too, which is no mean feat. Anne Washburn sinuously interweaves stories from eight original episodes... A classy Christmas and, I suspect, far beyond treat. Evening Standard ????
This isnt a show just for fans, but it definitely acknowledges them. Its a loving pastiche, fully alert to the swirl of cultural inheritances that come with the show and its era... a playfully great piece of theater about the power of imagination: about how people use storytelling, particularly science fiction, to navigate new frontiers and question society. Theres a good reason that theme tune lingers. The Stage ????
A glorious exercise in sci-fi kitsch with a few smart lessons about the present... the real knockout scene is a reworking of 1961s The Bunker... basically the current battle or the soul of America distilled into a bleakly comic 15-minute playlet. Time Out ????
Unsettling, dazzling and sophisticated entertainment... accomplished with enormous flair. It is sometimes frightening, sometimes spooky and occasionally funny. The famous music may not make its appearance until right at the end, but the atmosphere and flavor of this cult TV show is precisely captured. Terrific. WhatsOnStage ????
