REVIEWS

“Glorious. Mark Attwood’s production is passionate, honest, funny. Brilliant and shocking. All the writing demands”
- George Costigan, The Guardian

“Pick of the day. Challenging and brilliant…you’ll laugh, you’ll squirm but you’ll walk away thinking”
- Jonathan Gibbs, The Scotsman

“ Superb acting, brilliantly directed”
- Scunthorpe Telegraph

“ Mark Attwood is wheeled on as a succession of drunk and faded stars and steals the proceedings...his rapid-fire reporter is brilliant.”
- David Harrison, Manchester Evening News

“ Thus it’s left for Mark Attwood to steal the show...his rapper is spot-on funny.”
- Neil Jones, The Big Issue

“ Doggerbite is a short with more substance than a feature. As far as the analogy goes, it is a thick’n’syrupy concentrate of ideas. Dilute to taste; I’ll have mine neat.”
- Joff Lillywhite, Urbanite Magazine

“ Mark Attwood leads a strong cast as Lenny.”
- Alan Hulme, Manchester Evening News

“ Mark Attwood is disturbingly calm as Aston.”
- Alan Hulme, Manchester Evening News
