Reviews
We've all probably been contacted at some point by a firm of ambulance chasers like Scorpion Claims - and most of us will have had the wit not to get involved. The Same Deep Water as Me explores a few months in the lives and dodgy dealings of solicitor Andrew, a former London high flier, forced to return to Luton in disgrace for undisclosed reasons, and his slightly hapless boss, Barry. A rich cast of characters is extremely well played throughout, and there is lots of lovely detail - Barry's tea pouring is exceptional, for example. Possibly not for those offended by sweary dialogue but otherwise it mixes comedy and a degree of pathos in a satisfying evening.
Lisa Thomas
Had the privilege of watching ’The Same Deep Water as Me’ dress run tonight, loved every minute of it - So funny and such a well done show.
Thank you Guy Jones. Really great show, really enjoyed it.
Now you lovely lot should get booking asap
Saffy Andrews
Well done to Guy Jones and his talented Cast/Crew on a wonderful production. So many funny moments throughout and the audience were absolutely loving it too. Do yourself a favour and get down to see it! I’m suddenly craving a Greggs now!
