THE CITIZEN February 3rd 2012

"This classy interpretation...with it's beautifully constructed set...includes some elegantly executed noir elements for effect...during the interval the foyer was abuzz with conjecture as to who the murderer could be. This is a noteworthy feat in itself."

"Alan Swerdlow is a master of reinventing period pieces"
TONIGHT - THE STAR February 3rd 2012

"THE MOUSETRAP is as fresh and as fun as if it were written yesterday. The production boasts a strong cast...the stage set is gorgeous, the attention to detail superb, the costumes, sound and lighting are also perfect and the directing by Alan Swerdlow keeps everything moving at a cracking pace...with humour and tension rippling through in equally genorous measures...This is such an excellent production that you just have to go and see for yourself"
ARTSLINK February 1st 2012

"Swerdlow's celebratory restaging is good bloody fun...it's hard not to get wrapped up in the hunt for motive, means and opportunity to catch a killer"
