"The acting is superb and the sound effects visceral enough to suit this bloody and treacherous story. Just sit back, relax somewhere quiet and let Audible take you back to ancient Britain. This is worth your full attention, it's that entertaining." (Audible Listener Review, Albion)
"A mouthwatering adaptation! Brian Cox, Nicola Coughlan and Daniel Kaluuya are among the all-star cast of this slick and sumptuous take on a classic"
(The Guardian, Oliver Twist)
"Wonderful reworking of Shakespeare's classic.
A brilliant modern take on Romeo and Juliet. Writing, direction, performance and editing all top class." [Audible US Listener Reveiw for Romeo & Jude]
"The voice actors were outstanding, and that applies to the entire cast. Whoever cast these voice artists into their respective roles for this production did a fantastic job. Every character sounded just right and gave the play a fantastic authentic feeling. The production was brilliant, the music was fitting, and the sound effects enhanced the experience." (Goodreads.com on Romeo & Jude)
"Using a mixture of narrative and photographs projected onto the back drop of the stage, the show then follows Simon and Garfunkel’s musical and personal progression through time. With careful attention to detail, the show delicately captures the mood and style of each era."
(Derby Telegraph on S&G Story)
"The standing ovation at the end of this impressive show was a given as soon as the final note faded
from the very first song." (Burnley Express on S&G Story)
"I enjoyed the full experience - so much so I couldn't stop listening until it had finished!"
(Listener Feedback, Audible)
"AMAZING. The filmic flow of the script and the direction of actors and the ensemble is flawless!"
(Listener Feedback, Audible)
"WOW, just WOW. The actors were amazing and the sound effects were perfect.."
(Listener Feedback, Audible)
"David's attention to detail and ability to get vivid, real performances out of actors is second to none and his easy-going warm attitude makes him a pleasure to work with, even in high pressured environments."
(Wireless Theatre)
"THIS WAS PHENOMENAL!!! I couldn't stop listening. The sound effects, character voices, and background sounds just tied it all in. I can not thank the creators enough for this most exceptional piece of work"
(Listener Feedback, MOTOE)
"I loved every minute of this from the word go... you’re thrown into the action immediately and from there on in I was a goner. This story evoked all kinds of emotions in me from pure rag... to tears of joy and despair" (Sinfully Book Reviews on Romeo & Jude)
"...we can guarantee this version of the brave hero King Arthur is much more entertaining than that other recent big-screen reboot from Guy Ritchie." (Digital Spy on Albion)
"Brilliant! totally engrossed the whole way through and listened to this in one sitting. Loved it."
(Audible Listener Review, Inseparable)
"...The story grips you from the moment go and then runs your imagination wild like a roller coaster through these magical doors, taking you places you have never known before and to a land where all things are awaken and real." (Listener Review, The Christmas Pig)
The performance is ace, lots of different voices and sound effects really bring the story to life. It's felt like the equivalent of a classic Saturday morning cartoon, but for your ears!
It's an absolute no-brainer-must-listen-what-are-you-waiting-for-no-really-go-and-listen-to-it-right-away, 5-Star, Thumbs-up, whole-hearted recommendation! Our family cannot wait for the next installment. Please hurry up and get recording!
