The Leonardo Question had a very successful run that has just ended in London, Aldeburgh and as part of the Edinburgh festival and St Ives September Festival with packed houses, lots of laughter and rave reviews - including all our dates sold out in St Ives!
Below is a small selection of some of the wonderful reviews of The Leonardo Question. To read full reviews, visit our blog www.theleonardoquestion.com
Edinburgh Review:
"Caroline Wiseman's play is an entertaining, satirical romp through the world of modern art over the past century...the piece has wit and charm." Reviewed by Ben for one4review.
Humphrey Burton, Writer and Broadcaster says: "This is to recommend Caroline Wiseman's very entertaining short play about modern art… Between them, three very talented young actors play everybody from Pablo Picasso and Gertrude Stein to Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin by way of Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon and art patron, muse and mistress Peggy Guggenheim. It's a tour de force of quick change…everybody in the audience had a very good time at the show I attended"
Art Historian Mary Rose Beaumont says: "an exhilarating tour round the art world - thought-provoking and fun!"
Art Historian Dr Alan Wilkinson says: ‘vivid and entertaining!’
Art Critic Angus Stewart says: "This is a play on art that dances from the on. It is mischievous, ironic, touching, ignited with shrewd insight. While the art is revolutionary, its makers, dealers and collectors are venal and eventually in despair. The players and the direction were precise so the famous artists and their followers had their vanity outed. These are serious matters presented with the lightness of a souffle"
