"Original and imaginative in its use of space, movement and music to evoke themes and ideas."

        "a wonderful script in full verse ... what works so well is that Alexander is given comparatively very little time on stage, but the glimpses we  
         have of him and the construction of the script allow him to dominate psychologically, and Philip's consequent fury is thrillingly palpable.
         The final confrontation between the two, at which the rest of the family is also present, is undoubtedly the highlight of the play, when the
         strength of the script, acting, and well-poised stage design combine to great effect."

        "The work is of great research and effort and needs to be acknowledged in its development of the story, the scripting of an epic play, and
         the inculcation of an ensemble company ... only time will tell if this company is given the chance to develop such serious work"
         London Theatre Review

         "Peter Sturm's quite extraordinary verse play seems totally in keeping with the style of Greek drama.... all the actors play with enormous
          passion.... It has taken three years for the author to get this together - no time wasted"

Any Alexander fans living in London could do very much worse than a visit to the People Show Studios in Bethnal Green.
There is a weird and authentically unsettling play about the great man being staged there at the
moment – weird, because it is all done in verse, with a multitude of different accents and performance styles,
unsettling because it has the feel of something genuinely Euripidean about it.
The action revolves around Philip’s marriage to Cleopatra, and Alexander’s explosive
response to it. There are apparently two more of a trilogy to come!”
Tom Holland (author of “Persian Fire”) for The Hellenic World

“A small-scale show commendably large in ambition, Peter Sturm’s take on Alexander the Great,
written entirely in verse for a cast of 12. Can barely fail to better Oliver Stone’s film on the same subject.”
Evening Standard, Critics Choice

“Passionate verse drama”
Paroikiake (Cypriot weekly in London)

“The play is a brave attempt to challenge the theatrical conventions of plot, characterisation and theme, …
innovatory and exploratory”
Ham & High

“An impressive multi-national company, this is a fascinating production and definitely worth catching”
Camden New Journal
