The Game of Murder

Bruce James latest touring production ...

By Robert Iles - 4th Sep 2009

Possibly, no definigtely, the worst piece of theatre I have ever seen. Bar none. And I have seen some rubbish in my time, both amateur (I used to frequent the festival circuit quite a bit) and professional.

I find myself unable to review this production; weak script, dreadful direction, inappropriate design and terrible acting (well, in fairness I might want to push all that last criticism back onto the director) ...

A complete waste of time and money with no artistic merit.
