Reviews / Votes
"Maxwell has made his breakthrough, producing a 90-minute text of such sustained brilliance in its efforts to confront some of the deepest problems facing our society, that it sometimes threatens to take our breath away."--Joyce McMillan, "The Scotsman" "Maxwell's easy comedy hits dark psychological waters, like something by Edgar Allan Poe"--Mark Fisher, "The Guardian" "Promises Promises" is a one-person show but there's no shortage of characters conjured up in Douglas Maxwell's exemplary piece of storytelling."--Jane Edwards, "Time Out London" "Maxwell's writing is both down-to-earth and lyrical, heightened to intensify the atmosphere of the story"--Aleks Sierz, "Tribune" "Maxwell's writing, which involves much humour at the beginning, is confidently fluent and the ending has a most unexpected twist."--Barbara Bryan, "EdinburghGuide.com"More details
