Praise for Stephen's work:
"Director Stephen Glover takes a complex and darkly comic tale on a suitably surreal flight of fancy...a hilariously volatile and gory story."  **** What's On Stage
"Stephen Glover’s direction keeps the visual gags coming thick and fast...ambitious, polished and a joy to see. Top fringe theatre." **** Fringe Review
"Ably directed by Stephen Glover, this play is a black comedy as masterful and surreal as any of Joe Orton’s." **** Totally Theatre
"There's no shortage of subversive humour in Stephen Glover's well-executed production." *** Time Out
"The whirlwind of events that follow are skilfully handled by director Stephen Glover, who keeps the energy levels high...this raucous farce is brimming with gags." Camden New Journal
