Press for previous productions

‘From comedy with an edge to drama with a heart – and with a presumably accidental anthropomorphistic throughline thrown in for good measure – there was something for everyone in this eclectic cavalcade, and it succeeded in its clearly stated aim of celebrating good writing with aplomb.’ ★★★★★ The Upcoming

‘A hugely inspirational vehicle for anybody watching. Slick… clever… a force to be reckoned with. Sky Blue Theatre’s concept and format for the British Theatre Challenge is a clever one… and one that deserves greater exposure.’ ★★★★★ Downstage Centre

‘The acting was superb… an enjoyable evening to begin with but grew in its substance and hold of the audience, all presented by a dynamic and engaging Sky Blue Theatre host. I look forward to hearing more from these writers and next year’s challenge.’ ★★★★ Fairy Powered Productions

‘It’s the most fantastic ride. The twists and turns are delightfully impossible to predict. It’s so clever, funny and unexpected – and the puppet show is so wonderfully, simply, brilliant. With acting equally top-notch, it’s a clear five-star piece of work.’  Everything Theatre

‘All five pieces absolutely deserved their place on stage and will, I hope, be seen by audiences again in the future.’ Theatre Things

‘each play had its strengths as one would expect after so rigorous a judging process. I wish all of the writers all the best for the future.

A postscript to express gratitude to Karl and Kate at the Jack Studio Theatre who continue to support new writing, an increasingly important role in an industry that needs it more than ever.’ Broadway World
