PANDORA’S BOX REVIEWS
Here’s what they’re saying about Pandora’s Box:
“I have approximately 500 words in which I can review this play and all I want to write is ‘absolutely brilliant’ 250 times”
Louise Thompson, The Public Reviews
“Pandora’s Box buzzes with life and the tensions of real people struggling to make the best of their lives while dealing with the legacies of the choices made by a previous generation”
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
“All in all a brilliant play that addresses a pertinent issue not just of education and the role of culture and identity, but of parenthood… bad choices can be made with the best of intentions. GO AND SEE IT!!!”
Gillian Fisher, Afridiziak Theatre News
“Ade Solanke’s new play is firecracker theatre…as touching as it is hilarious. Setting such a provocative story in the Arcola Tent… is also a stroke of genius… Definitely worth the trip”
Jonathan Watson, The Stage
“…Funny, illuminating scenes… hot on the heels of every poignant moment is a belly laugh…
Vicky Ellis, Whatsonstage
