What the papers say about Keepers of the Flame

"Red hot" - The Times
"a stunningly lucid production...features a virtuoso performance from Alan Howard...There may be a future for verse drama yet." - The Guardian ****
"I cannot think of a play for some decades that works this well both as verse and as theatre...They had better find somewhere to transfer it; O'Brien's play is just too significant to burn only this briefly" - The Financial Times *****
"...has you gripped from the start, with a tour de force of performances from every cast member...Alan Howard is spellbinding...a better debut between Live Theatre and the RSC you couldn't get. An undoubted triumph" -The Evening Chronicle *****
"the production bears the hallmarks of both companies with emphasis on powerful writing and acting - made all the more powerful in Live's crucible of an auditorium" - The Journal
"Once in a while there is a play that completely blows you away and this, for me, is it...It's a chance to be in the presence of greatness - do - go and see it" - The Northern Echo

The production runs until Sunday 30 November. Book your tickets by calling the box office on 0191 232 1232 or emailing tickets@live.org.uk
