You cannot accuse the company of lacking balls..

The Guardian gives Propeller 4 stars in Cheltenham in a review out today. Dugald Bruce-Lockhart's Henry is highlighted for combining "the soul of a philosopher with the abdomen of a man who has spent several weeks being shouted at by PT instructors".

Alfred Hickling calls the double bill with The Winter's Tale more of a triple bill, wherein Richard Dempsey plays Hermione with an "exquisite balance of bewilderment, dignity and despair" and Tony Bell turns in a "wonderfully louche performance".

Additionally, this review gets a gold star from us here at apropellerblog for mentioning what is maybe the best line ever uttered on stage in a Shakespeare play (that is, of course, "take it away, saxophone sheep").
