THE HANGING MAN: PRESS
"Inviting us to
share their inquiries, Improbable celebrated the fact that we were all
in on the same wheeze...one of the most exciting new companies of the
decade..The Hanging Man is recognizably Improbable in its knotty mix of
the inspired, the intimate, and the odd." - The
Guardian
"Exemplary
ensemble work and beautifully imaginative moments from a company that
has not, thankfully, been dazzled by its own success." - The
Times
"Improbable
weaves a story of strange and sometimes chilling ingenuity. This mythic
piece, blending the medieval and the modern, is staged with impressive
flair...This is a splendidly weird and wonderful show." - The
Telegraph
"Improbable's
meditation on creativity, life, death, and the whole damn thing is a
typically eccentrically engaging piece of storytelling...The cast are so
endearing and so completely lacking in caution that I cold have eaten
them up...I'm dying to se this again and again." - The
Guardian
"Improbable
Theatre's shows are not so much improvised as innovated. The Hanging Man
is a series of bravura set-pieces in a generous gamut of theatrical
genres, some hilarious, most wonderfully clever, and some poignant...I
felt very entertained and very glad we have Improbable Theatre."
- The Scotsman
"The Hanging Man
is a triumph of theatre, at turns generously funny and inescapably
moving...a startlingly original production performed by a company that
is totally at the top of their game." - Bradford Telegraph &
Argus
"The Hanging Man
is an entertaining sum of disparate parts, weaving bizarre and amusing
scenarios around an unusual story...catch this highly original
production while you can-" - Theatreworld Internet
Magazine
"The Company are
breathtakingly inventive." -The Evening Standard
"McDermott and
Crouch are an unbeatable team." -The Guardian
"It's an evening
of breathtaking theatrical invention, a wonderful collaboration between
the aural, the visual, and the physical...the lunatics have taken over
the asylum, and made the world a more sane and an infinitely more
rational place. Daring, incisive, honest, provocative, and always
challenging." - Teletext
