‘A bewitching solo performance by Mark Lockyer, a masterclass in pacing and emotional clarity****’
The Guardian
‘This production is extraordinary. I cannot remember receiving Hamlet with more open ears and more abandon, such is Mark’s absolute commitment to and mastery of this timeless classic.’
Rufus Norris. Former Artistic Director, National Theatre
‘A masterful show. The Play’s the Thing is an ambitious work, skillfully done. There cannot be too many performers who can make such a show work, but Laird has found one of the ones that can, Mark Lockyer is truly an excellent choice to bring her vision to life****’ The Upcoming
‘Mark Lockyer’s performance is a tour de force – This is a Hamlet as a tightrope act, balancing Shakespeare with bold reinvention, a masterclass in what theatre can achieve when talent, vision, and text collide
****’ London Pub Theatres Magazine
‘A sharply crafted bare-bones solo take on Hamlet – director Fiona Laird and heroic solo cast member Mark Lockyer are to be congratulated for presenting the Bard’s best in such audience-pleasing style. Laird deserves every accolade for wielding the surgeon’s knife so effectively. It is excellent.’ Everything Theatre
‘Mark Lockyer plays all the parts in The Play’s The Thing: A One Person Hamlet at Wilton’s Music Hall. If ever there was a tour de force this is one. Not to be missed****’ Bill Russell, Reviewsgate
‘Masterful. Ambitious. Skilfully done. Mark Lockyer is truly excellent****’ The Upcoming
