SITCOM TRIALS - October 2009



Directed "Prodigies" by Alex Kirk and Simon Messingham at the Leicester Square Theatre, as part of the Sitcom Trials. The cast included Orlando Brooke, Sophie Brooke, James Lamont, Alex Kirk, and Simon Messingham.



EDINBURGH 2009



This August, I directed SUCCESS STORY, written by Brett Goldstein. Presented by Temple Theatre, and with a cast including Brett Goldstein, Susanna Herbert, and Felicity Wren, the show played at the Pleasance Courtyard, Edinburgh, before transferring to The Hen and Chickens Theatre, London.

"The acting is top notch, keeps you hanging on every word and ensures that the surprising denouement remains tightly under wraps until the very end." FRINGEREVIEW 07/08/09

"...Skilfully directed by Chris Lince, Goldstein as the writer and Felicity Wren as the bitter ex-lover carry much of the play's emotional weight, sensitively leading us through the complexities of the moral debate, while Susanna Herbert adds an ironic dimension as the fiancee more at ease with shades of grey than they." THE STAGE 13/08/09

"Arguing is turned into an art form here, with each stage—rejection, admission, humiliation and wild emotion—portrayed with bitter intensity. It results in an intelligent, almost voyeuristic drama; you are never quite sure who to believe, never mind support. Harrowing and sharp, this play succeeds at depicting the ultimately lonely world of fame and success." FEST 16/08/09

"What starts as an acid satire of Hollywood insincerity and the vapidity of the press seamlessly evolves into an exploration of a good man sacrificing his humanity for Faustian-styled success. This makes the play sound heavy-handed, but a taut script means it cracks along with the suspense of a skilful thriller. ...A savagely witty treat." THREE WEEKS 22/08/09

"Success Story is quality in every way – funny yet intensely moving. The plot is powerful and riveting. The cast excel in meeting the challenges of the dialogue under the direction of Chris Lincé. ...Brett Goldstein deserves much praise for not only taking on the role of Raymond but especially for writing this emotionally charged and realistic drama."
