Reviews

Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford

Reviews Hub - 'An absolute joy from start to finish'

Guildford Dragon - 'if you are a fan of farce or just want a good laugh I urge you not to miss this show'

Essential Surrey - 'Carry on farceing for many more years please, Ray'

Theatre Royal, Glasgow

The Reviews Hub - 'Do you think I could go out and come back in again?' The immortal tagline of any bad day is instantly relatable, echoes with resigned frustration - and perfectly sums up Ray Cooney's theatrical farce Out Of Order

Theatre Royal, Brighton

The Stage - 'Energetically played old school Ray Cooney farce given a topical makeover'

The Telegraph - 'A pleasantly contrived and confusing farce'

Richmond Theatre, Richmond

Essential Surrey & SW London - 'Carry on farcing for many years to come please Ray'

The New Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham

Greatbar Observer - 'What a barrel of laughs that was. It was like Bottom and Fawlty Towers rolled into one!'

Reviews Hub- '...the second half fairly storms along, leaving laughter in its wake...'

Malvern Theatre

British Theatre Guide - 'Out of Order is a good, old fashioned Whitehall farce and it doesnt take too long to get going.

Out of Order is clever in a cartoonish way and the physical humour has been deftly choreographed.

Behindthearras.com - 'This is frivolous, entertaining, absurd and light-hearted evening of escapism and a moral hilarity that is skilfully executed by a well-coordinated team.

It will give you a couple of hours of belly laughs!

Theatre Royal, Newcastle

Newcastle Chronicle- 'Few times have I sat in a theatre and laughed constantly from beginning to end'

Out of Order is one of the funniest comedies we've seen in years.... I urge you to get tickets'

The pace never lets up, as the classic hiding of the body, non-stop entering and exiting of doors and cases of mistaken identities that you find in perfect farce keep you entertained every second'
