What the papers say about Keepers of the Flame
"Red hot" - The Times
"a stunningly lucid
production...features a virtuoso performance from Alan Howard...There may be a
future for verse drama yet." - The Guardian ****
"I cannot think of a play
for some decades that works this well both as verse and as theatre...They had
better find somewhere to transfer it; O'Brien's play is just too significant to
burn only this briefly" - The Financial Times *****
"...has you gripped
from the start, with a tour de force of performances from every cast
member...Alan Howard is spellbinding...a better debut between Live Theatre and
the RSC you couldn't get. An undoubted triumph" -The Evening Chronicle *****
"the production bears the hallmarks of both companies with emphasis on
powerful writing and acting - made all the more powerful in Live's crucible of
an auditorium" - The Journal
"Once in a while there is a play that
completely blows you away and this, for me, is it...It's a chance to be in the
presence of greatness - do - go and see it" - The Northern Echo
