Audience reactions of the world premier of Chop Dissolve Burn in 2023 at Alphabetti Theatre.
Later described as:
The Stage - ★★★★ “Comedy that pokes fun at society’s attitudes towards disability, whilst exposing the truth about the impacts of inequality on disabled people’s lives.”
In Newcastle “This production epitomises why I love Theatre so much.”
Theatre & Tonic ★★★★ “How society views disability is a poignant topic to bring to the table....and Chop, Dissolve, Burn achieves this, with a richly layered piece, that is filled with realism and dark humour.”
Disability Arts Online “Alphabetti Theatre is Fringe Theatre of the Year, and this production is typical of their output. It is a highly accessible and inclusive space fostering creativity in Newcastle and the surrounding area. Chop, Dissolve, Burn is a very well honed production, from writing to its effective staging, that is wonderfully performed. Wicked fun throughout but also often tender and understanding, from the point of view of fellow disabled people navigating these times.”
The Crack - “This dark comedy holds the essence of a thriller while tackling topics like Ableism, finding independence, the important fact that not all disabilities are visible and how the perceptions of a few can have life changing consequences for the worse.”
Cultured NE “This comedy, as murky and macabre as they come, does its bit towards greater understanding and inclusivity – and if that makes it sound worthy and even a bit preachy, it’s really not.”
