Praise for The Hairy Ape:

The Hairy Ape is a robust, demanding play, and this
production confronts the writing with ingenuity and relish. Stylistically bold and charged with existentialist angst, this wild beast rattles the cage and demands your attention.
- Londonist

..The direction is often slick and creative; the stokehole scene which evokes the relentless heat and roar of the transatlantic liner’s coal engine fire is particularly effective, with atmospheric fiery lighting, choreographed actions amongst the lads, and the sounds of shovelling, crackling and thundering which together create the image of Hell itself.
