The Bone Thief

"...a compact, potent rock melodrama... every member of the cast sing[s] strongly, harmonising effortlessly and master[s] the rock idiom with verve and accuracy... an extraordinary achievement.”
Michael Gilchrist, Theatreview

"What an excellent show!... Set among small lives in a small community, it is a strong allegory for the destructive power of greed. As such it distils a major issue confronting the survival of humanity itself." - John Smythe, Theatreview

"... a treat on a cold, wintry evening... overall this was an imaginative, unique story with a great musical score." - Dani McDonald, Stuff
