A Mirror by Sam Holcroft
An explosive play about censorship, authorship and free speech. Premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2023 with Jonny Lee Miller.'A beautifully crafted, mind-bending piece of work'
* Evening Standard *'A Pirandellian wedding drama that achieves a series of satisfying surprises.. delights in the theatrical trickery of dual identities and false realities to throw a final surprise punch'
* Guardian *'Bold, inventive and original... a journey of discovery, a hall of mirrors, that takes us into a series of intricate boxes, of plays within plays, where nothing is quite as it seems... I loved it'
* WhatsOnStage *'Intriguing, twisty, metatheatrical... an achievement: like nothing else you'll see on London's stages'
* Independent *'Pirandello meets late Pinter meets Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman, all sharing a bottle of something strong'
* The Times *'Brilliantly mischievous... The joy of Holcroft's play is that it's subversive on so many levels... incendiary and mordantly funny... a triumph'
* Time Out *'Undeniably genius: the kind of rare, vigorous writing that sets your head spinning' * The Stage *
'A darkly comic, Orwellian affair... as punchy as it is political... a timely production packed with intrigue and passion'
* Broadway World *Sam Holcroft is a playwright, whose work includes Rules for Living and Edgar & Annabel (for the National Theatre), Dancing Bears (for Clean Break), and While You Lie and Cockroach (for the Traverse, Edinburgh).
