"It's great to not only see a young company, but any company, do Shakespeare this well... All of the cast are worthy of commendation for defining their characters so brightly."

"Murder, rape, revenge... This is Shakespeare as it's meant to be. A gorgeously acted and staged gory gothic slaughter to indulge in."

"An outstanding all-male ensemble. The pure physicality and energy is astonishing. This is a show that everyone should experience."

"The movement sequences are particularly well orchestrated...Alexandra Spencer-Jones' production grasps just how relevant Burgess' work remains, especially given current events"

"Just go see it - this is one of the best potential pieces of new musical theatre I have ever seen in 15 years of going to the Fringe."

"Violent yet gentle, brutal yet subtle, arousing yet sickening: this production of A Clockwork Orange is breathtaking."

"I challenge you to try and take your eyes off the stage. Martin McCreadie leads Action to the Word through one of the most energetic productions I've ever seen. Go. Go and see this triumphant horrorshow. And see it again, and again, and again."

"Funny, thought-provoking, energetic and relentlessly riveting, this is without doubt one of the best productions anyone is likely to see in Edinburgh this summer."

"A world of fantastical and bizarre characters. Each of the cast members beautifully take on the characters they are playing. It is a wonderful hour of escapism for its audience"

"Hansel and Gretel for hipsters... pretty much the perfect eccentric mid-afternoon diversion."

"A deeply hedonistic piece, it explores sexuality, masculinity and aggression through contemporary music, exquisitely executed movement and the notoriety of Burgess' text."

"Thomas Christian owns the stage as Titus, moving effortlessly back and forth from righteous anger to morbid humour. Certainly not for the faint hearted, this adaption doesn't skimp on any of the orgiastic or cannibalistic elements of Shakespeare's original - and is infinitely more entertaining for it."

"Action To The Word's new musical offering is an unsettling and visually gorgeous Gothic fairy tale. Samantha Arend's wayward Sinestra is deliciously devilish. All vocalists shine, particularly Camilla Rockley as Mother whose voice is soaring and soothing."

"If you want a late night gothic horror story with brilliant and exuberant acting, taking you on a visual and verbal roller-coaster ride, then get yourself a ticket for this one. You won't regret it."

"Stunning... The dynamic acting blows you away. This is a show you really must add to your list!"

"This show has a really strong cast with music and projections that fit well with the style of the piece. A great gothic fairy tale, Constance and Sinestra captures all things spooky, strange and surreal."

"This new musical from Action To The Word is a rather delightful Gothic oddity. The script is tight and the songs are even better, sometimes haunting and at other times jaunty and sweetly delivered...Exquisitely creepy."

"The jewels are the strong songs which allow the cast to shine. Written by Spencer-Jones and composer Patrick Gleeson, their vision, depth and thoughtful arrangements put to shame the hackneyed standards of the contemporary musical scene."

"Slick movement sequences, gorgeous performers, a stonking soundtrack and a charismatic lead. Spencer-Jones powerfully communicates Burgess' commentary on the endemic nature of violence in our society."

"A thrilling and sometimes upsetting combination of Tim Burton and Hansel & Gretel. A pleasure to watch, and musical numbers blend marvellously as they vary between teary laments and comedic character pieces. A beautiful little show."

"The audience is completely captivated through Martin McCreadie's phenomenal portrayal of our dark hero Alex. His acting demonstrates a deep understanding of the character, bringing a boyishly dark and unnerving realism to the play... I would recommend any fan of violence, Shakespeare, Burgess, physical theatre or passing social commentary to see this production."

"Spencer-Jones's direction was clear and coherent - an entertaining spectacle. Tom Christian made a strong Titus. Stevie Raine made an excellent sneering Demetrius - a performance which deserves to be seen."
