EB Productions

Hope Street Theatre

"A powerful and mesmerising piece" North West End ★★★★★

"It is Emma Bird who takes the laurels in this production for her simmering portrayal of Paulina. From her initial terror in recognising the doctor’s voice to despair as she tries to get her husband on side, Bird is a mesmerising presence on stage. In an emotionally draining performance she never allows her character’s tension to relax for a moment" Good News Liverpool.

WE APOLOGISE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE

By Mark Griffiths

Directed by Emma Bird

3MT Theatre

Manchester 2017

"Director Emma Bird walks a fine line with the production, ensuring that the very different acting styles of the cast complement each other rather than clash. Pete Gibson takes a naturalistic approach to the characterisation of Adams while Rachel Howard is brash and comedic – together they make for an exuberant show" Manchester Theatre Awards
