Second five-star review from Brighton

admin — Wed, 06 May 2009 19:51:51 +0000

“….They might have won the Best Comedy Award at this very same festival last year but The Penny Dreadfuls aren’t resting on their laurels. Their new show ‘The Never Man’ is a ‘comic thriller’ that falls somewhere between ‘The Island Of Doctor Moreau’ and ‘Willie Wonka’s Chocolate Factory‘. It’s wonderfully crafted and replete with charmingly executed characters, and the troupe’s collective talent as narrators and performers seems to grow with every sketch as they successfully translate their Victorian humour of past shows to a post-modern setting for the first time….”
