Interview with A.J. Stanley: “Jake is quite destructive but is based on my brother who is quite into this sort of thing, so I like him for that reason. Evelyn is supposed to be this massive computer expert, but you only see her actually use the computer for about ten seconds.

The Provost’s Garden, Queen’s College
Thursday 3rd – Saturday 5th June, 7.30p.m.
“‘My Fair Lady’ is a classy and slick show studded with set-piece gems; the cast look like they are having a great time and the comedy is both farcical and snappy.” Martha McPherson
“In Eliza and Higgins’ fight after the embassy ball and their later tussle in Mrs. Higgin’s conservatory, the two actors expertly mine Shaw’s crisp writing for its subterranean emotion.” Rory Pelsue

Christ Church Cathedral Gardens
Wednesday 2nd – Saturday 5th June, 7.30p.m.
“The play comes alive…with the entrance of Roger Granville as Mascarille. It is the best individual comic performance I have seen in my four years at Oxford, and a beautifully crafted little work of art in itself.” Ed Cripps
“Against the walls of Christ Church Cathedral, old French resonates off the stones transporting the spectators to the imaginary world of “Tenderness”.” Hannah Baleta and Alvar Closas

Trinity Lawns
Wednesday 2nd – Saturday 5th June, 7.30p.m.
“the real star of the piece was Charlotte Mulliner as Tourvel; displaying an impressive emotional range, she carried a great deal of the poignancies of the play almost by herself.” Sam Bell
“The staging of the performance was exceptional and it was a very apt choice of play for the stunning gardens on Trinity College.” Catherine Owen

Oxford Playhouse
Tuesday 1st – Saturday 5th June; 7.30pm
“Soldiers and slaves to Herod’s court sport bullet proof vests, army boots of today, and street-wise sort of gear, while Salome could have been picked up from a strip club. The sexuality of this production knows almost no bounds” Sam Baker

Burton Taylor
Tuesday 1st June – Saturday 5th June, 7.30p.m.
“Closet Land is the play for you, lasting just under an hour and with no opportunities for a quick snooze, this performance will have you on the edge of your seat throughout, eagerly wanting more.” Rosie Swaine
“much of the atmosphere was dependent upon sound and lighting when it should have been Scott-Taylor keeping us on the edge of our seats” Sarah McCready and Matt Harper

OFS Studio
Tuesday 25th – Saturday 29th May

Frewin Undercroft on St Michael’s Lane
Tuesday 25th – Saturday 29th May
“We perfectly understood the peculiarities of the three-way game of cat and mouse between the characters, perfectly understood why they continue mentally to torture each other” Maximus Marenbon
“Arriving at 7:01 leaves us in a hell of our own: eight rows from the front, we can see very little.  For a static play in which ‘armchair politics’ plays an important role, an inability to see the armchairs, let alone the actors, leaves us hamstrung.” Matthew Harper and Sarah McCready

Burton Taylor Studios
