“Musical director/pianist David Atkinson almost steals the show, providing non-stop accompaniment that perfectly follows the action onstage… Scott McCulloch is very creepy as the evil physician, and, as Belle, the naive runaway bride, Ginette Mohr conveys loads of emotion with physicality alone – no easy feat.â€

“The slapstick is funny and video projection is used to wonderful effect….these actors are very good…each provides their share of laughs… You’ll be smiling through a lot of it and laughing…I’d recommend this to any fan of silent movies.”

“Keystone Theatre’s salute to the art of silent film feels like real the thing. Harnessing physical theatre like a wild thoroughbred, the production forges a unique stage experience accented by flickering image projections and the odd burst of written dialogue to navigate the storyline. …only once in a long spell does a creation come along capable of snubbing conventional theatre. Hurray for grassroots art, Keystone Theatre knows how to seed the foundation.â€

“Piano Man David Atkinson’s iron-wristed marathon at the keyboard —looking like a total dandy in a top hat and tails — is as intense as any Saturday-night guitar-off”
