White
Press Reviews
- 'It’s a treasure to find such wonderful show for the very young'
Ali Moylan: Indaily - 'I think little kids and adults would like this show. People who like bright colours and happiness, would love this show. That’s just about everybody.' Seven-year-old critic Bill Blake
Bill Blake: Time Out Sydney - 'Gentle, charming and enchanting, White is a must-see.'
David Owens: Wales Online - 'White reveals itself as a simple yet profound celebration of diversity.'
John Smythe: Theatre Review New Zealand - 'There is a purity of purpose about Andy Manley’s enchanting piece of theatre for Catherine Wheels. Aimed at 2-4 year olds - with perfect attention to all the details that entails - it also speaks with a strong heart to an adult audience.'
Thom Dibdin: The Stage 2012 - '...the idea is perfectly pitched, simple, clear, witty, and gorgeous to look at.'
Joyce McMillan: The Scotsman - 'This is a beautifully acted and neatly thought-out show, as cleverly executed as a conjuring trick – and a reminder why this Scottish company is an innovator in children's theatre.'
Lynn Gardner: The Guardian - 'One of the best in town'
Mark Fisher: Scotland on Sunday - 'This truly beautiful show crafts its ideas with a light, but sophisticated touch – you really can’t suss how the all-white world suddenly blooms into vibrant technicolour, but you can, whatever your age, engage with the joy and wonderment as bird-houses open up in a new-found radiance of rainbow brightness.'
May Brennan: The Herald - 'a palpable hit.'
Thom Dibdin: The Stage - 'White is what theatre is all about, striking performances, enchanting set, and above all true, moving and powerful storytelling, I urge every theatre going visitor of the fringe to get along and see what could possibly be one of the most touching pieces of theatre this year.'
John Roberts: Public Reviews - 'Shona Reppe’s highly imaginative and humorous tented set is a delight.'
Margaret Scot: What's on Stage - 'an utter delight no matter what your age.'
The Times - 'White hides all the colors within it, which is nature’s little joke. This show lets us in on it.'
Laurel Graeber: New York Times - Gwynne Watkins: Time Out New York Preview
- 'There’s a level of effortless chic to Shona Reppe’s shades-of-white set and Gill Robertson’s breezy direction that is most welcome'
Mark Peikert: New York Press - "Although the story is simple, White still delivered a powerful message. In fact, days later, my 3-year-old son continues to ask incredulously why Cotton and Wrinkle wouldn't want color in their lives, so clearly the show made an impression."
Lia Wiedemann: MommyPoppins.com - The set has an ingenious design, and the writing/staging/performance of this are all great. My son (and all the other kids there) were basically entranced for 45 minutes
Dadapalooza.com - It was so beauifully contructed - the story, the plot (the moments of suspense!), the characters, and the theme. It amazes me how theatre for young children can take a simple idea and turn it into this terrific sensory experience.
Piccadily Arts - 'Cameron and Manley, are adorable as they stay true to character while earning the children’s laughter.'
Suzanna Bowling: Times Square Chronicles - White: Press Cuttings and Awards
