This show was a huge hit for the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2024. With a transfer run at the Barbican in London I had a great time playing theatre director Matthew Pike. Directed by Emma Rice

“As pretentious wonder-director Matthew Pike, Ewan Wardrop is the second huge hit of the piece” - Theatre Monkey
“But perhaps the biggest laughs come from Ewan Wardrop's portrayal of Matthew Pike, a theatre director. Brilliantly meta, he breaks down the barriers of theatre with a sledgehammer, ripping up the narrative and provoking wry laughter from the press night audience” - All That Dazzles
“Ewan Wardrop is outstanding as the creepy theatre director who take (Karim) under is wing” - The New York Times
“Wardrop's big shot theatre director, an absolute gem of manipulative preposterousness” - Stratford Herald
