“An astonishing theatrical creation… James Cain’s solo sortie through a memory-bank of celluloid clippings is more than mere escapism… a timely critique of big screen values.” - John Smythe, Theatreview
“James Cain is a brilliant performer with great elasticity in his varied impersonations and the stamina to rarely appear out of breath… Gift of the Gab might illuminate some of the darker sides of light comedy.” - Dione Joseph, Theatreview |
