It is clear from the structure of the evening that the enjoyment you get out of attending an event such as this, is solely dependent on the audience.

Go and see this play. I laughed. I cried. And I will definitely be going to see it again. Wonderful, wonderful theatre.

I feel like there was the kernel of something brilliant in here, but that the show lost touch with what that was.

Although I wanted this show to be awesome, it just didn’t work for me. While there were some occasional captivating moments, We’re Bastards fell kind of flat.

A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

Iolanthe and Janet Anderson work in cosmic, comedic accord, characterisation charismatic, timing impeccable, delivery precise, together a tour de force that ascends the cliché.
