REVIEW: WARTS & ALL

JOHN P HARVEY, STAGE WHISPERS, APRIL 2014

"This light-hearted tale of skeletons in the family closet, sometimes subtle, often straightforwardly funny, well paced and well articulated, has much to recommend it."

REVIEW: HUMOUR IN RATTLING OLD BONES

PETER WILKINS, CANBERRA TIMES, 3 APRIL 2014

"Hoogendornâ€™s humorous entertainment about hidden secrets, family conflicts, skeletons in cupboards and cans of worms is sure to bring a smile to the face and keep one guessing to the very end, when all will be revealed."

REVIEW: â€˜WARTS AND ALLâ€™ AND WELL REHEARSED

SIMONE PENKETHMAN, CITY NEWS, 3 APRIL 2014

"â€œWARTS and Allâ€ is a well rehearsed and strongly performed new comedy by prolific local playwright, Bruce Hoogendoorn."

REVIEW: WARTS & ALL

BILL STEPHENS, AUSTRALIAN ARTS REVIEW, 11 APRIL 2014

"Bruce Hoogendoorn is probably Canberraâ€™s most prolific playwright, having written and produced six of his own plays in as many years. His latest play, Warts & All, which Hoogendoorn directs himself, is his most accomplished and entertaining work to date."
