The reviews are in for FLESH WOUND … and they are very impressive!
Chris Baldock at ArtsHub says: “… Exhibit A: Theatre’s production of FLESH WOUND is infused with enough passion and talent to make this one of the more riveting and exciting piece of independent theatre you will see in a while, pervaded with direction and performances that are skillfully crafted, leaving you, despite the limited budget and resources at hand, in wonder of what can be achieved with the special mix of artists and script …”
And: “… Jeremy Kewley, channeling everyone from Michael Caine to Ray Winstone and yet making Joseph completely his own, is also a powerful and exciting presence in the production and is the driving force of the piece, leaving us wondering what danger lurked around the next proverbial corner. Able to convey so much with a single look or inflection, Kewley had the audience in the palm of his hand from the opening moment, then clutched on and never let us go.

A wonderful lesson in “less is more” and why it works so well in the right moments …”
Myron My at Theatre Press says: “… Jeremy Kewley’s softly-spoken, cool and collected Joseph demands attention with just a look or a stance … the strong performances really made this a memorable play...”
Glenn Waller at InPress says: ” … At times harrowing, at others intriguing, and intense throughout, Exhibit A: Theatre’s Flesh Wound is about as in-your-face as contemporary theatre gets … Goodtime Studios in Carlton provides the ideal setting for the play, with the audience seated close to the action, heightening the claustrophobia of the spiralling situation … the direction of the Che Walker-penned script by Nicholas Pollock is tack sharp … at no point during the play’s 90 minutes is the performance anything other than enthralling. Flesh Wound had audience members wincing tonight and is really suited for those who prefer their theatre hard to the core …”
