"Great night. Me, my wife and Mum, all from Warrington, were in the Carleton that night. Bob was absolutely brilliant. 10 out of 10. What a night. It was just like New Years Eve." - Ste Jones

"I left the theatre feeling like I’d been exposed to a flawed individual at their most honest – and that honesty is something as terrifying, courageous and honourable as ruling a nation..... the outstanding performance of Bob Young and Bramwell’s truthful presentation of humanity was well worth the watch.." - Laura Ellis


"King Lear (Alone) is a gripping production and the formidable performance given by Bob Young makes it compelling viewing." - Annie Power

"Much of the success of the play depends upon Bob Young’s performance. In accordance with the concept of the play he does not create any other characters than Lear but his facial expressions make clear how other people have reacted to the King’s demands. Unusually Young establishes a strong personality for Lear before the traumatic events that pushed him over the edge.
