The Grand Swansea 2005

Philip Andrews - Sheffield Star

"THE WHOLE AUDIENCE JUMPED OUT OF THEIR SEATS!" 
"It's funny how a decent thriller sucks you in. Only a few minutes into "I'll Be Back Before Midnight!", you are already trying to work out who is going to do what you don't yet know is about to be done!! ... but then one shock followed another until you didn't seem to have time for guessing any more! I can't recall "Deathtrap" actually causing the whole audience to jump out of their seats, and then creating such animated chit-chat during the interval... Colorfully scripted, this is a palpitation-packed thriller which is leaving the audiences thoroughly satisfied... stretched the suspense to near breaking point... pure entertainment... and if the last thriller you saw went off like a damp squib, go and see this one! You won't be disappointed!"

Rod Hancox - Taunton

"HUMOUR MAKES THRILLER A MUST!"
"This riotous thriller should not be missed whatever the price of the seat... the funniest piece seen on stage for many a long day... other theatre companies will soon be falling over themselves to stage a play so rich in squeals, shrieks and sighs! ... The (play) has the oddest assortment of characters including a jolly farmer with menacing overtones, and a stone-axe-wielding university lecturer! ... Superb!"

CC - Taunton

"NAIL-BITING THRILLER" 
"A taut thriller with complexities of character.  A nail-biting evening of theatre... Brisk, atmospheric and suspenseful."

H. M. - The Henley Standard

"A SUPERB NIGHT OUT"
"This tense comedy-thriller captures its audience with all the subtlety of an axe plunging into an unsuspecting victim, pinning them to their seats as the tension mounts before drawing them sharply from their inhibitions with curdling screams of excitement!  The play by Peter Colley contains every ingredient for a good old-fashioned thriller with an element of the supernatural to give a cold tingle down the spine... a superb night out for those who favour a fright!"

Keith Newton - Middlesborough

"EVENING OF ENJOYABLE FEAR HAS AUDIENCE ON THE EDGE OF SEATS" 
"This thriller had me jumping out of my seat, and I spent the rest of the evening sitting on the edge of it.  At times there was hardly a sound in the auditorium and then there would be a gasp of shock as the suspense climaxed.  A well-crafted play... (full of) nightmarish illusion... followed by the audience thankfully laughing with relief.  I dare you to go to this evening of enjoyable fear."

"THE FRIGHT OF YOUR LIFE!"
"Peter Colley has woven the four characters in this play into a thriller that really thrills.  Tremendous... Exciting... If you don’t come away having been nearly frightened to death, it is not the fault of the playwright."

Frank Terry - The Chronicle

"A gripping drama with plenty of twists and turns right up to the final climax."

FROM THE 2004 / 2005 NATIONAL TOUR OF BRITAIN:

"A superb example of what professional theatre is all about.  I was less on the edge of my seat than hiding behind it.  The plot twists and turns and takes your stomach with it, leaving your nerves thoroughly knotted... highly recommended!"

Spalding Guardian

"For thrills and suspense Midnight is difficult to fault - I'd be lying if I said I wasn't gripped by every unpredictable twist in the narrative from start to finish.  There were chills, mystery and jumps aplenty."

ESP Magazine

"There were times when you felt that your hair stand up on the back of your neck.  I physically jumped at least twice and cried out once."

Eastern Daily Press

"Think it's impossible to be scared in the safe environment of the theatre?  Well think again.  Midnight can rival any film for spine-chilling twists and turns.  The audience was perched in fear on the edge of our seats - quite literally.  Just when you think you've guessed what's going on, you find the goalposts have been moved again.  Scared?  You certainly will be."
