kudos from theatrehaus

Brisbane review site TheatreHaus has named Speed: The Movie, The Play as one of its Favourite Overall Independent Productions of 2020.

This show had just finished its third week of a five-week season at the Brisbane Comedy Festival when the Covid-19 forced it to shutdown. We’re so pleased it had an impact that was remembered by the end of a tumultous year!

TheatreHaus also attended Act React’s Christmas 2020 double feature performance of Love/Hate Actually and This Is Your Trial on December 11.

Here’s an excerpt from their review:

Despite the technical hiccups, both performers carried the show with charisma and confidence, with great diction and effective connection to their audience. The crowd laughed along in delight, including through the finale – a musical parody of the now-inescapable ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ by Mariah Carey, which was performed in the 2003 film.

The fun continued an hour later with ‘This Is Your Trial,’ also produced by Act React, and featuring improvisers Luke Rimmelzwaan, Brittany White and Wade Robinson as judge, prosecutor, and defence counsel.

Thanks to TheatreHaus for their support of local theatre!
