REVIEWS
" a genuinely gripping drama and one I warmly recommend" ~ Charles Spencer, Telegraph ★★★★
"Jethro Compton writes and directs this string of well-loved tropes which stays just on the safe side of pastiche, and makes a compelling cowboy tale set out on the edge of civilisation, where the gun is law, the whiskey is copious but dreadful, and all's fair in a fair fight" ~ Exeunt Magazine
" Compton brings out the humour in his script as well as building up its melodramatic moments to create a lively entertainment that is engagingly presented" ~ British Theatre Guide
