Magic Goes Wrong, Vaudeville Theatre review
Mischief Theatre's "Goes Wrong" oeuvre is now well established: broad humour combined with physical comedy and slapstick mishaps.

British Comedy Guide, 22nd February 2019The Comedy About A Bank Robbery review
Writers Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields unashamedly mine the bank heist genre from every era to produce this enormously funny, goofy romp. A final mention, though, has to go to the seagulls. It's a glorious riot.
