Reviews
Habit of Art is very funny, sweary, rude and poignant and really quite beautifully played by everyone. Someone's had fun with W H Auden's supremely squalid wardrobe. Highly recommended.
Lisa Thomas
Throughly enjoyed Habit of Art tonight! Great performances and fantastic set...although a bit strange being able to see right through backstage it really did feel like we were sitting in on a rehearsal!
And a special mention for Dennis Fenton's cameo.
Hayley Thomas
Loved Habit of Art this evening, sterling performances from a very strong cast, laughs on many levels, book a ticket, you know you want to.
David Carr
I second what David said: really enjoyed the show
Caroline Durant
And we backstage enjoyed Caroline Durant enjoying the show.
