★★★★★ “This is how you create theatre when the theatres are shut.” - Broadway Baby for The Tell-Tale Heart
"Based on the evidence so far, Threedumb Theatre have a bright future in this 'new normal'" - John Chapman
★★★★ “The direction is flawless... Online theatre can be very hit and miss. If it’s literally a case of someone just pointing a camera at an existing stage production – count me out. But done like this, when the use of both space and medium have been thought through effectively it works.” - View from the Cheap Seat on The Black Cat
★★★★★ “This isn’t simply a filmed monologue. The action moves in and out of The Space’s atmospheric building, brilliantly utilising every nook and cranny, and camera moves combine with expert lighting and effects to make this a constantly inventive experience… An absolute triumph.” - Everything Theatre for The Black Cat
★★★★★ "A venue empty of audience may lack real-time reaction, but not atmosphere." - LouReviews on The Black Cat
★★★★★ “The imaginative and creative way in which Threedumb Theatre use the entire Theatre’s “space” has been brilliantly choreographed” - MyTheatreMates for The Black Cat
★★★★ “The company quite cleverly utilises the eerie and rather special atmosphere of the venue” - North West End on The Black Cat
★★★★ “A fresh and exciting change from the mass of recent Zoom plays that have appeared of late which are simply recordings of shows that can be played at any time. Threedumb Theatre go to great lengths to try and recreate the actuality of an actual theatrical space... There is always a risk with Zoom plays of becoming distracted, such is the difficulty of performing when the viewer is so far from the action. Yet despite this fact, as well as the archaic language and old fashioned story, not once did my focus waver.” - A Younger Theatre on The Black Cat
“For this play, we are again back inside a real theatre space except this time the whole building is put to use giving us, in effect, a promenade performance. But in a digital twist, instead of the audience moving from area to area, we sit still while the camera tracks the actor from the usual performance space to the venue’s corridors, the upstairs bar, the toilets, outside to the grounds and even, initially, across the road from the building.” - John Chapman on The Black Cat
★★★★ “This intimate and mobile view is highly engaging, drawing us into a 50 minute performance and making it seem like five. Compelling stuff and a great example of using this new digital formatting in a creative and engaging way.” - The Reviews Hub on The Black Cat
★★★★ "It is commendable that Threedumb Theatre is experimenting with (relatively) new technologies to push the boundaries of theatre and make theatrical productions available to an ever-increasing number of people that due to financial circumstances, geographical locations, or other circumstances would not be able or willing to travel to a London theatre" - LondonTheatre1 on Notre Dame
★★★★ "Technically outstanding" - LouReviews on Notre Dame
★★★★★ "I find online theatre often oddly hard to engage with. But this was charming and chilling. In the expert hands of Stephen Smith the story whips along and keeps your interest without needing to grab your attention. This was a fun, engaging and thought provoking hour spent with but not quite in, the theatre" - Plays To See on Notre Dame
