Critical Opinions

"Newson's new show probes the yearning heart and the knobbly body with wit and unflinching fascination."
The Financial Times

"DV8's latest piece of physical theatre is a rare and exciting event which deserves a presentation
at every arts centre in the land."
The Birmingham Post

"This is dance, not for the faint-hearted, but for those with spleen to vent."
The Express

"An effective, disturbing piece of theatre ...... it has a grisly, mesmerising appeal that both shocks and prevents one looking away."
The Sunday Telegraph

"You could have heard a pin drop were it not for the sound of air being sucked through clenched teeth."
The Scotsman

"Shocking, deeply uncomfortable and quite brilliant."
West Sussex Gazette

"I would rather watch (Newson) ask complex questions with choreography than spend a dozen evenings with smoother, more soothing work. He is a truly original talent, and this work should not be missed."
Country Life
