I think we were honoured here in Adelaide to have this world premiere, which is now going around the world including Edinburgh. Paul Shearman expects to be back with it next year and his reputation will then precede him. If you are the least inclined to see an intelligent show which puts King Lear in the context of an aging actor's fight to stay with the plot, this is the show for you.

This is part ROFL and part Emotional roller-coaster. We went on spec tonight and highly recommend the last performance tomorrow. Glenn Wallis does a splendid job of content and acting. If only he could defend himself against Emmett, who is, after all, only a sock puppet. How hard could it be....?

Hilarious throughout, so clever. Shakespeare would have loved it! We were at the last show, and I was regretting not having been to it earlier so that we could have gone twice, but they announced that they are back next year. On my list.

My suspension of disbelief was complete. When Connor Delves, the performer said he lived in NY now, I was like I wonder why Cadel lives in NY? Great show.

A beautiful show, she has a great voice on top of being an accomplished clown. The whole audience was engaged. Yes, we boohooed our way through this show. But we left feeling good. What's the expression about feeling better after a good cry? We all did :)

Such a gentle show, the audience happily obliges when asked to get involved, a bitter-sweet ending. If you want a rest from shouty things in the East End, this is highly recommended.

'What a great show' said my partner who did his first degree at Cambridge and lived there for many years. 'Just like that, with the perfect degree of exaggeration'. Hugely entertaining.

I saw somebody left the praise 'could have been in The Festival'. Indeed. Sharp, harrowing, draw-breath-in-funny. Or something more complex than 'funny'. My pick of the Fringe for this year.

A wonderfully crafted and acted show. Going to be one of the Fringe's big hits this year.
