REVIEWS

THE DEATH OF MOLLY MILLER

★★★★ “A riveting comic drama… tackling contemporary issues such as addiction and inequality, the show also takes aim at pop culture, reality TV and the toxicity of social media, all powered by a whip-smart script... Desperate in their own situations, our characters try to figure out a solution that doesn’t result in violence. Futile maybe; funny and unsettling certainly. - Broadway Baby

★★★★ "Have you heard the one about the influencer and the thief? No, me neither. It sounds like the set-up for a joke, but it isn’t. Instead it’s the premise for Matthew Greenhough’s thought-provoking and, yes, funny play about penury and privilege... Like Molly herself, The Death of Molly Miller seems superficial, but actually has a lot to say.” - Bouquets & Brickbats

★★★★ “A fast-paced and deliciously dark two-hander... The writing is razor sharp and a refreshing take on the show’s themes... a complex and important exploration of class divides and turning against our own... A truly entertaining show that will leave you scratching your head after its conclusion...” -  EdFringeReview

"A taut, often laugh-out-loud funny and, at times, surprisingly nuanced two-hander. As Molly, Esther-Grace Button takes a character that could so easily come across as a caricature and makes her human and vulnerable, a young woman who escaped her past and remade herself. Greenhough brings a frantic energy to the reluctant hostage-taker Tommy, a man who has made some poor life choices. Greenhough’s writing contains some delicious gags and director Jonny Kelly ensures the pace never flags. " - The Stage

★★★★ “Delicious gags with a biting payoff” - The Scotman

★★★★ “The play touches very well on the dark themes of gambling and self-image, the pressures of life working both a “normal” job and that of a social media influencer in the public eye... both performers are superb, and there’s some real hard-hitting content between the comedy of this dark play.” - North West End
