Reviews

★★★★★ - Saul Reichlin for Remotegoat
"Tom Green's brilliant, excoriating portrait of the essential Tommy Cooper. An unforgettable performance [from Damian Williams]. A marvellous production, it is all there before you. Just like that. A must-see."

★★★★★ - One Stop Arts 
"This is West-End, National Theatre virtuosity. Even if you're not a Tommy Cooper fan or you know little about his work, this show is a must-see."

British Theatre Guide
(They do not use stars)
"Brave in its mission, Being Tommy Cooper is a slick, emotive and thoroughly entertaining portrait of one of the most popular comics of the 20th century."

★★★★★ - Watford Observer
"Suffice to say that it is one of the most stunning evenings I have spent in the theatre. Entertaining, funny and a fascinating insight into a Tommy Cooper that we knew far less about......Damian Williams performance as Tommy blew me away"

★★★★★ - Aline Waites for Remotegoat
"Totally riveting...an extremely enjoyable evening"

Talking In Bed

My new play Talking In Bed ran at Theatre 503 in London from Jan 10th 2011, directed by Cecily Boys for Old Bomb Theatre Productions. 

Reviews:

London Festival Fringe ★★★★ "This play is a deftly-handled peek into the bedroom of four unrelated couples; and Tom Green’s observational comedy is highly watchable."

Remotegoat ★★★★ "Sharp, funny, touching, dramatic, thoughtful"

Spoonfed:  "Green exposes the naked truth – literally – and delves into the unspoken, unnamed and uncomfortable with ease and simultaneous daring."
